A little while ago, I was asked to create a very special bear. He appeared in the family film Peter Pan’s Hook and meant a great deal to his family.
With only a handful of photographs to work from, and the children watching the film over and over so I could catch glimpses of him, bringing him back to life was quite a challenge. But a magical request like that was impossible to turn down.
Life is rather busy these days between the farm, our rescue horses, our wonderful YouTube community and the restoration of our 1880 carriage, so he became my little project, tucked away in the bear room whenever I could find a spare hour.
After many months, plenty of patience and more cups of tea than I can count, he is finally finished and safely home with his new mum.
As a little surprise, I tucked a small bag of antique coins inside his tummy, waiting to be discovered one day. Hopefully they’ll bring a little luck along with them.
He was a joy to make and gave me some much-needed time to switch off, create, and get lost in the process. He’s certainly one of those bears I’ll never forget. ✨
