HANGING ON II (OR EVEN TWO) - 18TH ANNIVERSARY BEAR
			This piece was runner up in the French Teddy Bear Awards 2013. The mother and the cubs are all made from ivory alpaca. The mother has a dense 24mm pile and that of the cubs is 12mm. The Mother has a complex, naturally shaped, embroidered nose combined with a gentle open mouth. The pads are 3D in ivory ultrasuede, enhanced with airbrushed shading and combined with alpaca to make the natural looking feet. The mother has 7 disk joints and is designed to look as if she is walking. Each cub is wobble jointed and has magnets in the paws, feet and nose. They too have natural looking 3D pads. The magnets are designed to link with each other and those on the mother bear so a variety of natural poses are possible and they will definitely ‘hang on’! Mother 40cm (16in) nose to tail and 22cm (9in) at shoulder) Cubs 17.5cm (7in).
