Jonah the Polar Bear is only 4.3″ (11 cm) tall and is completely hand-sewn with love and 20+ hours devoted to attention to details by my fellow toy-maker sister Alma.

The sweet thing puts on a knitted scarf to keep warm if it gets a bit chilly.

He is delicately made of vintage plush fabric manufactured in the 50-60s, while the stuffing is done with cedar wood shavings and sawdust.

He can move his arms and legs thanks to them being firmly attached to the body with discs and cotter pins.

Eyes are a window to the soul as they say, and as usual I have tried to put in a lot of time and attention into creating the look and the facial expression of darling Jonah, to try and convey his personality and inner world.

The little guy is shipped from mother Russia free of charge, and usually my toys take 2-3 weeks to reach their new homes in the UK or North America.

Have a very beautiful day!
