Bears are not companions of men, but children of God, and his charity is broad enough for both. Bears are made of the same dust as we, and breath the same winds and drink of the same waters. A bear's days are warmed by the same sun, his dwellings are domed by the same blue sky, and his life ebbs with heart-pulsings like ours and was poured from the same fountain...

"THE  BEAR SMITH"

Pawtrait bears

{award winning artist bears}

 WELCOME TO MY AUCTION FOR

A SPIRIT BEAR CALLED

"WINNIE"

Because of their ghost like appearance spirit bears hold

a prominent place in American indian mythology.

Legend says that the Spirit Bear was made pure white,

by the creator, to remind people of the Ice Age, when

the earth was covered in snow and ice.

 There will not be another quite like Winnie!

I designed her working totally from sketches and

photographs, so she has no pattern and cannot be repeated.

 Winnie is totally unique!!

  While she poses for her photographs

I will tell you a little more about her :)

Winnie measures 20 inches seated,

& 18 inches standing on all fours.

 Winnie has an elegant one piece body, with flexi limbs and a spine,

so she is great fun to pose.

She has a beautiful pale honey faux fur coat, which has

golden honey guard hairs.

  Her claws are inset and very strong, with a soft

sheen varnish.

Winnie has a realistic clay nose ,

and very soulful dark brown glass eyes.

Long term layaway is available at no

extra charge.

Winnie is feeling sleepy

So I think its time she closed her eyes :)

Sweet dreams Winnie
