SAMUEL
Samuel with his friend Ruben.
Samuel is made from a traditional golden yellow (an original teddy bear colour) very short pile German mohair, his little paw pads have been made from a traditional golden brown German wool felt, his paw pads have also been given black embroidered claw detailing, this sad bear has the odd spot of black darning, especially where his fur has worn away, poor thing did not have much fur to start with.
Little Samuel has all my Toy-Box Treasure characteristics, long hockey stick shaped arms, straight legs and even a little hump. Samuel has matt black, aged glass eyes and a black embroidered thread bare "D" shaped nose which has been slightly waxed.
This Toy-Box Treasure is fully jointed and firmly filled with a heavy weight stuffing, but in his body he is softly filled with pellets for a beautiful squashy feel and a little stuffing.
Around his neck he wears a black antique lace bow sadly which looks a little worn. I don't think he feels to sad about being left behind in the Toy-Box as he seems to have a sweet little smile.
There is more information about Samuel on my website www.jacqlynbears.com

What a great bear, the two of them! Love the short fur and the little bit of darning. Both you and Darren do such an amazing job of making them look truly old.
