BEAR # 213     ARTIST: JOANNE MITCHELL & DEE HOCKENBERRY     SOLD
This is more than a bear, this is a "shoe box bear."  Dee Hockenberry is a leading authority on teddy bears (writing The Big Bear Book and many others), plus a renowned bear maker.  Joanne Mitchell is likewise a renowned artist.  Together they made this shoe box bear.  He's 14" tall, fully jointed, and made of dark brown fur.  He has glass eyes, black embroidered nose and mouth, velvet paw pads, and wears a red and green plaid bow.  He comes in his own shoe box, of course, and has a booklet that tells his story.  He's number 98 of a limited edition.  He comes with his own numbered shoe box, a certificate of authenticity numbered and signed by both artists, and a booklet telling the story of the shoe box bear.
Hi!  How are you? I live in this shoe box. Want to hear my story?
I like to play pretend. Will you read to me? Will you play with me?
Sewn in tag showing this is number 98, made in 1987. My shoe box says number 98, too.
A certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by both artists. The Shoe Box Bear story booklet. The inside cover is autographed by Joanne Mitchell.
