Basil sitting in the garden

Basil is an original collectible Teddy Bear
hand made by me, Sasha Kleshcheva, in 2012.

He is made of soft brushable longpile mohair.

Basil's head

He has English glass eyes,
a hand-stitched waxed nose, and hand-stitched mouth and claws.

Basil is a lively
and inquisitive bear.

Whenever left
to his own devices,
he promptly disappears
to inspect the garden.

As he is
out and about so much,
I made Basil
a nice pair of trousers
to keep himself decent :)

Basil is 12" (30.5 cm) tall
and fully 5-way jointed,
with cotter-pin joints
in her neck, arms and legs.

He is filled with
fine woodwool and polyfill.

He is a proud owner of a label
with Sasha's Bears logo
and a Teddy-Bear Passport.

Price guide: £100

Basil in the garden
