Mortimer (edition of 5)

4 and 1/2 inches tall, mini-bear cashmeres, linen waxed-thread embroidered nose, seed bead eyes, needle sculpted face and paw pad details, fringed ribbon scarf/muffler, cotter pin jointed, polyester filling.

Mortimer Montgomery 1 of 5 lives with the bearsmith. He was the very first in a series of little, old fellas with mufflers. These chaps ('Mortimer's Brothers') have been fashioned from the same pattern in many different materials. Morty is seen to the left with brother Garnet (named after my Grandpa Orphan).

Mortimer 2 of 5 is loved by Karin Peire, a lovely bear artist from Belgium.
