The Inspiration... As
a young boy growing up in rural South Carolina, Jim Shore spent many hours
with his grandmother, a master quilter, gaining an apprectiation for what
would later become his passion. His early fascination of design and color
found in classic American quilts has led him to become one of today's premier
folks artists.
The Jim Shore Teddy Bear Collection combines his truly unique and inspirational
use of color and folk art imagery with a collection based onm his very own
"much loved" boyhood teddy
bear. Randomly
placed patterns found on every creation not only add character and personality,
but also assure that each teddy bear ia a true one-of-a-kind creation.
The Teddy Bears... Inspired
by his very own boyhood teddy bear, Jim was instrumental in the design
and construction of each bear in the Collection.
Each bear features button fastened arms and legs, antique felt covered
eye, head sewn nose and mouth, fully jointed head and neck.
A special
distressed plush was chosen to give each bear a worn and much loved look.
Floppy arms and legs add to the antique look by the sparse use of poly-filing
in the top and bottom of the arms and legs and extra beans in the bottom
of each. All bears in the collection showcase Jim's original works of
art. A custom fabric and printing process assures the integrity of Jim
Shore's original artwork is replicated on each and every creation with
special attention to color and detail. No Two Alike! A
combination of randomly placed patterns with carefully placed scenes and
designs tell a visual story. This unique design element makes each bear
in the collection a one-of-a-kind keepsake! |
