Xanadu - 20 Years of Emma's Bears Commemorative Teddy - OOAK in a series

Xanadu

By Emma and Mark Nicholson

11" (28cm)

Xanadu probably has some of the chubbiest cheeks of this batch of bears. He has been made using a piece of our own deluxe hand-dyed Schulte Super Curls mohair in vibrant yellow, paired with some yellow/blue tipped curly ratinee style mohair.  

All of our commemorative 20 Year bears have been made using one of our most recently developed designs in a nod to our early bears made in the late 1990s. This exact design will not be released for general use, so will remain an Emma's Bears exclusive. Each bear will also come with their own handmade sterling silver pendant. Only 20 of these pendants have been made, and they will only be available with each of the 20 commemorative bears. A special silver cleaning cloth will also be part of the adoption package so you can keep your bear's pendant perfectly shiny. 

Xanadu is fully T-pin jointed and looks out through black glass eyes. His very large nose (the size we'd usually see on a 20" bear!) has been hand-embroidered in a matching cornflower blue DMC perle cotton. He features 3D pulled and shaded feet and hands and is stuffed well with a mix of polyfill, glass and steel shot for weight. 

Xanadu is a very special one of a kind bear, in a series (20 Year Commemorative Bears).
