The Teddy Bear That Saved Me

Image of The Teddy Bear That Saved Me

$20.00

This bear always reminded me of the kind that a boy alone on a farm clings to for companionship and love, uncaring of his imperfections and strange stitching. If we consider this crafting of knitting an art form, which it surely can be, then I'm watching my own particular art form turn into a lost version of Americana's Folk roots in rural life. And if that's the case, then this little teddy bear is definitely a portrait of a poor boy alone on a farm.... holding on tight to hope....
This is the first bear I ever designed, this is the one bear that started everything, the one that fed me, got me out of homelessness, and gave me a purpose. He will always be the Teddy Bear That Saved Me
