Betty is a one-of-a-kind, miniature Made-From-Thread Bear by teddy bear artist, Shelley K. Bossert. She is 3.5" tall and has moveable wobble joints. Her nose, mouth, brows and claw marks are embroidered with Spanish made Finca pearl cotton. Her eyes are 2mm black onyx beads. She is accented on her ears and tasseled feet with vintage Czech glass beads.

Betty is a one-of-a-kind teddy bear designed and hand stitched by Shelley K. Bossert of Ursa Minor Miniatures. Like all of my teddy bears, this bear is not a toy and is not intended for small children. Small parts present a choking hazard. To see more of my work, please visit my web site, UrsaMinorMiniatures.com.

The bead knitted pouch she is pictured with is not included in this sale. If desired, a similar pouch may be special ordered upon request.

In addition to personal checks and US Postal Money orders, I accept PayPal. Shipments paid for by check are held until the check clears.

I do not pad my shipping charges but do pass actual costs on to you, the buyer. ArtFire requires that I pick a number for shipping so I picked the least expensive, slow-boat-to-China rate offered by the United States Postal Service. Secondary shipping charges depend on what else you are purchasing. If you are purchasing more than one item at a time from my studio, please e-mail for shipping charges. If you wish to choose a shipping method other than the USPS to a US address, the cost is more. That said, U.S. or Canadian purchasers may choose the U.S. Postal System, UPS or Fed Ex. but please request a shipping quote before making a purchase.

International purchasers may only use U.S. Global Priority Mail. Costs for Global Priority shipments vary by destination and package weight. Please contact me for a shipping quote before making a purchase. I will combine shipping upon request.

Insurance is optional but I accept no responsibility for damage to uninsured shipments.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
I found the vintage mohair I used to make this bear in a estate sale in the UK. After I got it, I found that there wasn't enough yarn to make a sweater or even a nice scarf. I hated the thought of not using my "treasure" so kept looking for things I might do with it. One morning while I was working on another bear, it came to me. It took me a while to work out the design but eventually I did. Betty is the result.
