Gilbert the Bear

Wool, Recycled silk, cotton floss

 6”x 5”x3”

Gilbert dreams of cozy evenings he can just hang out in his den, enjoy some classical music and cocoa. He used to have a stuffed animal rabbit, but it hopped away one night when Gilbert, in his hibernation stupor, rolled over on it. Seeing all the popularity of red and white spotted mushrooms going on in the forest around him, he decided that would be a pretty good model for a new stuffed toy. This time, instead of rolling over on it, the mushroom ball will just roll to the side of the den. Now Gilbert can get in a wee game of rolly ball between his cocoa and his winter snoozes.
