You would think that with a name like 'Kandinsky' he would be a great fan of modern art, but he'll tell you \"I suppose I was called that as my mohair looks a bit abstract, a bit arty farty, if I'd had my way I would have been called 'Another Cream Cake' then people would say \"Another Cream Cake?\" and I would of course reply \" Thanks, I'll have two!\"   Kandinsky really loves a cream cake, or two. He was the first of an edition of three.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKandinsky is made from a gorgeous, medium length, wavy ivory coloured mohair hand dyed by our good friend Dagmar Strunck in gold, peach, orange, red and lilac, with lines of black, Dagmar was an exceptionally talented and pioneering teddy bear artist, and artist, who sadly died in 2025, she is missed by many around the world. You can read about Dagmar and the mohair she dyed for Hermann Spielwaren \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hermann.de\/artists\/art_ds1e.htm\" title=\"link to Dagmar Strunck's mohair for Hermann\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e , she made Kandinsky's mohair especially for us. Kandinsky has beige ultrasuede paw pads which complement his colouring sympathetically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKandinsky has small pink glass eyes, a broad nose embroidered from individual threads to match his mohair (one of our first bears to feature this) and a big happy smile. He is stuffed almost entirely with polyester stuffing and plastic pellets to make him a little more cuddly and more posable. As with all our bears Kandinsky is 5-way jointed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKandinsky is a wonderful teddy bear, subtly coloured with a big happy smile, he's very easy to get along with (as long as there are cakes and scones on the menu) and will never talk to you about Abstract Expressionism, he doesn't even know what it is like all teddy bears. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe will enclose photos with Kandinsky, some of which were taken on the coast near us at Monreith, \u003cspan\u003eand we are happy to put in a greetings card and gift tags, maybe a birthday card or one for another occasion, you can choose one from our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildbutgorgeous.com\/collections\/andy-near-the-sea\" title=\"click here to see our hand drawn, home made greeting cards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egreetings card page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and let us know which card you would like.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with all our bears Kandinsky is not a toy, he is an adult collectible and unsuitable for children under 14\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbara Ann Bears","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57151099830650,"sku":"Kandinsky","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2429\/7549\/files\/Kandinsky_9.jpg?v=1786107833","url":"https:\/\/wildbutgorgeous.com\/ja\/products\/kandinsky-a-14-inch-mohair-artist-bear-by-barbara-ann-bears","provider":"Barbara Ann Bears","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
