Ernest is an original collectable Teddy Bear
hand made by me, Sasha Kleshcheva, in 2010.
He is 5⅜" (13.5 cm) tall and fully 5-way jointed, with cotter-pin joints in his neck, arms and legs.
Price: £43

Ernest is made of soft mouse-grey plush with wool felt inserts, and filled with polyfill and fine woodwool.

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

Ernest really is very earnest,
particularly since he insisted
that we should read to him
Oscar Wilde's The Importance
of Being Earnest.

Not sure he understood it all
but he clearly fancies himself
as an Oscar Wilde character.

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

Ernest was adopted at the Traditional Craft Fair at the Reading Museum of English Rural Life.
