18" (45cm) Mario is made from light pinkish salmon dense German Schulte mohair. He has Austrian crystal glass eyes, beige South African leather pads, and a black embroidered nose with a black tape around his neck to match. He has a German growler. He is entirely hand sewn.
This bear takes his responsibilities very seriously, and would probably make a good accountant. He is also a worrier, and tends to worry about a lot of things at once. I told him to try to worry about one thing at a time. It is just too much to worry about Palestine, the Congo, Iraq, Liberia and global warming. He agreed, and thought that would be a good idea, but now he is worrying about which one is the most serious for the future of humanity. He has me worried too!
