| About the Bears All of the Raspbearies are hand made by me of the best materials I have available. I work in mohair and alpaca with very few exceptions. All of the designs are mine with the exception of a few purchased accessories or clothing articles. I often make accessories for the theme bears to get the correct proportions. I use both traditional jointing methods (all 5 joints) and the looser 'wobble' joint in many bears. All bears have German glass eyes, sometimes with Ultrasuede® eyelids. The paw pads are also Ultrasuede® and sometimes sculpted. A few bears have Ultrasuede® claws. Some bears sport skeletons or armatures of either Loc-Line® or Flexlimb® which allows posing. A few bears have a unique neck joint using Loc-Line® which allows them to tilt their head to keep an eye on you! Please don't hesitate to email any questions you might have about construction, accessories or special requests. |
