Dindle

By Emma and Mark Nicholson

11" (28cm)

Dindle is a quirky little fellow, cut from a piece of experimentally dyed curlylocks mohair that ended up a gorgeous rich gold colour with a froggy-green backing. For contrast we've given him cheeks and inner ears cut from an unusual factory-dyed mohair/cotton tufted fur with different textures and colours through the pile - that just happened to match the colours of our experimental-dyed mohair perfectly!

Dindle has a ridiculously large hand embroidered gold perle cotton nose and he looks out through handmade glass eyes with a printed backing in shimmery greens, finished with droopy hand sculpted eyelids. He is fully T-pin jointed and firmly stuffed with a mix of polyfill, steel and glass shot. 

Dindle's hands and paws are made from trimmed back mohair to show off the gorgeous green backing, and feature our 3D shaped toes  and fingers. He has some inktense shading and highlighting to his face and paws and he wears a polished stone pendant (malachite as far as we can tell) around his neck.

Dindle is a one of a kind artist bear.
