Winter Hats


This Last winter I got a reprint of a 1920s clothing catalog from Dover Publishing. Their hat selection inspired me, and the bears got little hats. The one on the left is corduroy and the burgundy one is flannel. The scarves are another vintage wool.

Dressing the Angora Bros

The bears' wardrobes expanded with waistcoats out of a vintage wool...


And they got eyes and pants! Well, trousers and a pair of plus fours to be exact. 


Creating the Angora Bros

These two were put together from an old Angora sweater that had a little moth damage. Their muzzles are suede and they have floss noses. I still haven's decided on names yet, and they don't even have eyes in these pictures, but they certainly seem full of personality.  


The Angora brothers try on their new shirts and silk ties.
