My talanted sister-in-law, Mabel, makes those...adorable bears. She makes the "Paws" out of real leather & real fur as well. (recycled fur coats!) I have a "racoon" bear and my dh has a "muskrat" bear; and all our children have their own special "bear" from her. Hers are pricey, from $300 up to $1500. She was well-know in Montana for her sewing & crafts that she did. Now she has moved to Iowa...all her bears and materials!!
