Henri and Grundy

Henri and Grundy

Henri (pronounced �on-REE�) was so named because of the problems he caused while Debora was embroidering his nose. He was even banished to the corner for his trouble-making! Henri stands about 7-1/2 inches high, his fur is light golden tan sparse mohair, and his pawpads are soft velveteen mini fabric. His eyes are black glass, and he is filled with a mixture of polyfill and glass beads. Henri is a thin little bear with attitude (and a squishy tummy). He now lives with Cindy and James in Lodi, California--in his own special honey pot. Hope he doesn't cause any more trouble!

Grundy is designed to sit bending his knees and pointing his toes. He has sculpted, shaded ultrasuede paw pads, and his face is also accented with shading. His distressed and wavy mohair is a pretty shade of brown. He has black glass eyes and is filled with polyfill and plastic pellets for nice hugs. Grundy was completed on Debora�s maternal grandmother�s birthday, so he is named after an area in Iowa where she grew up. Grundy now lives happily with Kathy and Mike in Pittsburg, California--and is extremely excited to be the first mohair bear in their hug!
