Please visit all the Heir
Bears who came to this event just to meet
you! Some of them will be dressed up in their favorite outfit,
and some of them will just be themselves, with no frills, but ready to
enjoy the party.
About the Artist: I am Jane Woodard and I have been creating real fur bears
and other critters,
using recycled furs, since 1999. My fur bears are
heirloom quality, fully lined with a cotton fabric to stabilize and
reinforce the fur. They are created to ensure you can pass them on to
your children and grandchildren. Recently I have added some
faux fur and mohair bears to the den and they are all getting along just fine!
My bears have been featured in
articles in Teddy Bear Review (including on the cover), Teddy Bear and Friends,
and the latest issue of Teddy Bear Times magazines.
One of my bears is also the proud winner of a 2016 URSA award.
Please visit my website for more
information about Heir
Bears.
"PETER
the Pumpkin Eater"
"Peter" is a
22"
bear, created from a recycled dark raccoon fur
coat. The dark brown fur has silvery tips
running through it. The undercoat is very
soft and dark brown. This shows up a lot
in his face where his features have been
scissors-sculpted. He is fully jointed and
firmly stuffed with polyester
fiberfill.
"Peter"
has contrasting dark beige suede pads, and a
hand-embroidered brown Perle cotton nose.
He has imported black glass eyes.
"Peter"
wears his blue denim overalls and a straw hat
because he is going out to the local pumpkin
patch in search of the perfect pumpkin for
making a Halloween jack-o-lantern. He did
find a small one, but that will probably become
a delicious pie or maybe some pumpkin bread for
Thanksgiving.
He comes with a sewn-in tag and a removable hang tag.

"OPIE"
"Opie" is a
20"

opossum fur coat. This fur is dense but
much softer than it looks. It is a mixture
of several
shades of gray and brown with some light tan running through it.

firmly stuffed with polyester
fiberfill.

has tan suede pads, and a
hand-embroidered brown Perle cotton nose.

"PATSY"
"Patsy"
is a mohair bear designed and sewn by fellow artist, Cathy Swieckowski.
Cathy passed away two years ago before she could finish it. I
recently met Cathy's husband and I promised him I would finish several
of the bears Cathy started and left behind.
"Patsy" is 10" tall, made from
a cinnamon brown sparse mohair fabric.
She is fully jointed and stuffed with polyester
fiberfill. She has matching brown suedecloth paw pads,
vintage black shoebutton eyes, and a hand-embroidered dark brown Perle
cotton nose.
Cathy liked to use vintage accessories with her
bears, so "Patsy" wears a
vintage cream-colored silky ribbon tied in a bow
around her neck. She comes with a removable hang tag.
