Shakesbear is an OOAK needle felted sculptured bear. He stands at 11 cm/4.25 inches. Created using English wool tops, which was needle felted and sculptured as one piece and no armature was used.  The clothes were created with Merino wool roving which was first wet felted to make a cloth and then felted to the body to create shape and form. His writing quill is stiffened using fabric stiffener and Shakesbear’s eyes, nose and mouth were all needle felted in position. The writing on the manuscript was back stitched.
