"Olaf"
...the wise bear...
This is the story of
“Olaf”, mostly known as “The Old Bear“.
He lives with
his wife and family, in the midst of the forest of the
old country.
He likes to keep to himself these days, but
comes out and visits the bears in the village when
weather permits, where he’s very well respected and
listened to, as he gives advice to one and all.
Most of the time, he
spends looking after the animals that accidentally hurt
themselves while looking for food in the forest.
He is one of the last
wise bears, and as such he is very much respected
and loved by everyone.
As you can see, Olaf is carrying a little cub inside
the hood of his coat. Olaf has rescued this little
fellow and is taking him to safer ground after a
fire in the forest left him without a home.
Olaf stands 19.5 inches / 49 cm tall
Fully jointed with discs, bolts, nuts and an
extra neck joint
He has
armature in his arms for more poses and to hold
onto the little bear
Polyfill,
plastic beads and garnet powder were used to give him
quite a nice weight
Made from luxurious
dense matted mohair and ultra suede for his paws and
inner ears.
English smoked
topaz glass eyes,
framed by gold reading glasses
He's been meticulously sculpted and airbrushed
to give him that
worldly look on his face, and has an embroidered nose
and mouth
Olaf wears
a pair of cotton pants, grandpa shirt, vest and a
fully lined, fur trimmed, hooded, long cashmere wool
coat.
He carries his staff with a bell at the top end, a
set of keys, a rusty bucket full of bird seeds to
feed the hungry birds in Winter, and a large
handmade and airbrushed over the shoulder bag to
carry all the herbs and paraphernalia to heal the
sick and injured animals.
The little bear with Olaf has
also been designed and created by me, from
vintage sparse mohair.
He's about 6 inches / 16
cm tall.
He has English smoked topaz glass eyes.
He's been meticulously sculpted and airbrushed
to give him that worldly look on his face, and
has an embroidered nose and mouth.
He's fully jointed with a wobbly neck.
He's been
filled with Polyfill and garnet powder.
He wears
a beanie hat and scarf.
