Katmandu is one of a
brand new range of Sitting Cubs, so called because the hind legs are fairly
soft-stuffed, allowing the foot to flex, and lie flat on the floor (or
stretch out) when sitting. This removes the need for an ankle joint, and
gives the bear a softer and more natural look. We will also be making
variants of Sitting Cubs, some with traditional closed mouths, and some with
claws or subtle teeth.He is made from medium length chocolate
alpaca with black real leather pawpads. Katmandu has a slightly
open mouth, and is very cuddly because of his dense alpaca fur - he's
irresistible!
We will be showing our Sitting Cubs for the first time
at the Stratford Artist Bear Event on Sunday the 8th June, and we don't
think that Katmandu will be coming home with us!
Katmandu has 8 joints; four limbs, a double neck
joint, and wrist joints. All of his joints are of the bolt and locknut type
for strength, and to ensure that they won't slacken off.
