Heir Bears by Jane Woodard

     Welcome to Bright Star's "The Furry Frenzy" Teddy Bear Artist Online Show! 

About the Artist:  Please visit all the Heir Bears who came to this special event just to meet you!  I am Jane Woodard and I have been creating real fur bears and other critters, using recycled furs, since 1999.  My fur bears are heirloom quality, fully lined with a cotton fabric to stabilize and reinforce the fur.  They are created to ensure you can pass them on to your children and grandchildren.  You might also find a few mohair and faux fur creations which have been added to the den. 

I have been featured in articles in Teddy Bear Review (including on the cover) Teddy Bear and Friends and Teddy Bear Times magazines.   Severa1 of my bears have been the proud winners of highly coveted URSA Awards in 2016 and 2020.

 

  
     

"MARVIN the Mouse"

"Marvin" wasn't fast enough today and got his tail caught in a mouse trap!  But he's okay now.  No injury to his tailAnd the cheese is gone so it couldn't have been too bad.

"Marvin" the mouse was created from a recycled silvery-gray mink fur coat.  He has pink suede paw pads, vintage black shoebutton eyes, and a hand-embroidered pink Perle cotton nose.  The insides of his big mouse ears are also pink suede.  His long mouse tail is gray suede.   He even has a few very long horsehair whiskers. 

"Marvin" wears a couple of  narrow ribbons tied in bows around his neck.  He is 5-way jointed and firmly stuffed with polyester fiberfill and some pellets for added weight.   He comes with a sewn-in tag and a removable hang tag.

"Comet" is 11" tall and was created from a recycled dark brown sheared nutria fur coat.  The inset is sheared beaver fur.  He has brown suede paw pads, dark glass eyes, and a hand-embroidered brown Perle cotton nose.  Sheared nutria is an unusual fur, very soft like sheared beaver, but I was assured by the furrier this is actually nutria.

"ALFRED"

"Alfred" is 24" tall and is created from a recycled mink fur coat.  He is one-of-a-kind.  He has dark brown  suede paw pads and amber glass eyes.  His nose is hand-stitched with a brown Perle cotton thread which is lightly waxed.  He is fully jointed and firmly stuffed with polyester fiberfill.  He is made entirely of mink fur, even underneath his clothes. 

"Alfred" wears a vintage black velvet 2-piece suit with white cotton lace trim around the neck, down the front of the jacket, at the cuffs and at the bottom of the pants.  I believe the suit was handmade, probably for a young man's first photograph. 

"Alfred" is the perfect match for a Victorian style bear or doll.
