Honora

SOLD
 
Made from 1950s, vintage Hungarian hemp cloth, Honora is a hand embroidered bear . This sandy beige vintage fabric, has a luminous quality that only comes with age and it lends itself very well to representing a teddy bear that has lost it's fur. Although the fabric is still strong it has been interlined for added stability. Embroidered with apricot pink roses and blue hydrangeas. Filled with a mix of woodwool and polyester fibre, steel granules have been added for a reassuring weighty feel. The tips of her ears, paws and toes have been lightly stained and she has subtle shading to her face for added character. She has a mossy brown embroidered and waxed nose, soft biscuit coloured woolfelt paw pads and she wears a pale blue, hand dyed, fray edge chiffon silk ribbon and an apricot pink vintage ribbon..
