"Holly"
7th March 2010, 464 g, 30 cm (11.81"), 8 joints
Here comes "Holly". With holly leaves and berries, this teddy bear is quite classically decorated, ready for each coming Christmas time. "Holly" is made of short pile snow white mohair. I trimmed the pile on soles and hands. Palms and toes are needle felted details that remind of snow balls. I also formed "Holly´s" face with the needle felting technique. For the felted details I used extra soft snow white wool. The holly leaves are also needle felted. While one leaf is sticking out, the other two are felted onto the body. The berries are dangling. Eight joints enable the teddy to move quite well. "Holly" is able to stand alone as well as this bear is able to sit. Steel pellets in feet and body provide "Holly" with extra weight. Finally, "Holly" has got stitched matching green and red claws and a stitched green nose with a red stripe.
"Holly" is a romantic teddy bear, who loves watching snow flakes falling to the ground. Of course, winter is "Holly´s" favourite season. Christmas decoration with holly motives and fresh holly twigs are essential for "Holly". If you have a holly bush in your garden, this teddy bear will love you. "Holly" will also love you when you bake cakes covered with icing sugar because it looks like snow. All in all, "Holly" is a balanced bearsonality. The only thing "Holly" does not like is sitting in the blazing sun (like snowmen) - so please keep this bear away from windows in summer.
"Holly" found a new home at Nicole´s in Grünbach, Austria. Winter in Austria is beautiful and Holly is looking forward to each coming Christmas time with her new mum. Finally, "Holly" moved to Ricky´s in the Netherlands, where "Holly" will make each Christmas even more festive.
