Ageing the Teddy Bear (3)

I continued ageing the bear because I didn't think it looked totally right yet.

I unpicked a section of the leg and patched that up with the hessian material.

I also unpicked some stitching on the right arm to show that that is the worn side, as he carries the Teddy Bear with that arm.

I have decided not to age the bear more as the child would have only had it for 7 years, so some damage would have been done to the bear, but not as much as you see in pictures today of 1900s Teddy Bears.

I'm pleased with how the Teddy Bear has turned out. I think that I made the right decision not to age the bear too much, as it would be used for a production set in World War one rather than today.
