Barnaby, my own Christmas Spirit!

Wow...

this guy took me a while..

I really wanted to create a

wise and kind fellow who would 

bring peace and warmth to any place

he lives in.

So he truly is a Christmas spirit!

Welcome to this world, Barnaby...

Barnaby is a big bear, 30 cm tall (about 12"),

made of Steiff-Shulte GORGEOUS

caramel mohair.

He is stuffed with polyfill and glass granules.

He is quite heavy 

but still has some space left in his tummy :)

Barnaby has needle felted nose, mouth, eyelids and paws.

His face is needle and scissors sculpted.

Barnaby also has a little tail!

I used acrylic to paint some details: 

nose, eyes, mouth and paws.

Some of them are also pastel toned.

Barnaby wears a woolen knitted cardigan 

with real vintage glass buttons,

tiny knitted gloves and a knitted hat with a big pearl bead :)

***

Barnaby is temporarily not for sale 

but you can always contact me

Hope everyhting's fine with you

and you are all set for Christmas!
