Sparky McTickle is a wild and wonderful bear, full of colourful happiness, a one of a kind, mohair artist teddy bear by Barbara-Ann Bears

Sparky McTickle stands 9 inches( 23 cm) tall and is 7 inches ( 18 cm) sitting, not including his wild plume of hair which adds another 5 inches (12 cm).

Sparky McTickle is a very happy and colourful bear, he's like a little teddy bear firework with his bright colours and explosive hair. Sparky isn't too wild though, he's quite a sweetie, not a bear to have wild parties more of a 'stay at home for lots of hugs and cuddles' sort of chap. Colour, smiles, happiness and love all wrapped up in a teddy shaped bundle.

Sparky McTickle is mostly made from a medium length, fairly straight, hand-dyed perfectly blue mohair. His tummy is a slightly longer distressed mohair hand dyed a nice warm orange, the sides of his face and the underside of his tail are a distressed mohair that Barbara has dyed bright, happy pink and his face and the fronts of his ears are a long, distressed, feathery mohair that Barbara has dyed a nice sunny yellow. Topping it all Sparky has a very long plume of feathery faux fur in bands of yellow, blue and red, yes, he's a colourful chap. Sparky McTickle's paw pads are a strong rusty-orange velvet which coordinates very well with his main colours.

Sparky McTickle has beautiful, hand painted glass eyes with hand coloured eyelids, a splendid nose embroidered from individual threads to compliment his colouring and he has a huge, friendly smile. Sparky is stuffed with polyester stuffing and glass beads which give him a little extra weight and make him a little more cuddly.

Sparky McTickle is the happiest of teddy bears, a bear who wants to brighten every dark corner and bring smiles and laughter wherever he goes. He's also the first of his design, so we hope you like him.
