Rusty McPherson is an elegant and charming, one of a kind, traditional artist teddy bear by Barbara Ann Bears in wonderful German mohair

Rusty McPherson stands 16 inches/41cm tall and is 11 inches/28 cm sitting.

Rusty McPherson is a very sweet and elegant, traditional teddy bear, he has a very gentle and thoughtful expression. Rusty McPherson is only rusty by name and colouring, he wants it to be made clear that his joints don't creak nor does he leave rusty stains wherever he sits, he's a very well behaved totally rust-free teddy bear. He has a very sweet personality, particularly if you bring him ginger nuts and ginger cake "I need a steady supply of ginger to keep my fur looking beautiful" he'll say, while munching a ginger nut "a nice strong cup of tea wouldn't go amiss either", not that he's a particularly demanding bear, he just wants to look at his best for you, he's just being kind really.

Rusty McPherson is made from a beautiful, medium length, ginger-brown coloured German mohair, it's quite like the colour of a Highland Cow, if you don't know the colour of a Highland Cow, they're quite similar in colour to Rusty. He has brown German wool-felt paw pads that coordinate very well with the mohair and he has boot buttons for eyes, just like the really old teddy bears. He has a carefully embroidered nose and a sweet smile. He is stuffed with polyester stuffing and plastic pellets, which gives him a more cuddly and soft feel.

Rusty McPherson is a sweet, thoughtful bear, a bear who looks like he is going to say something very wise, but it's hard for a teddy to be wise, they're thoughts are usually limited to hugs, cuddles and lots of ginger coloured foodstuffs and there's nothing wrong with that. Rusty McPherson is a gentle soul who needs to be cherished and loved.
