Many collectors of Inuit Dancing bears come to the table with very specific expectations about what constitutes a the ideal bear.

They may want only a white Polar bear, or a jet black bear.

For others, the bear must be realistic or a cuddly Teddy bear style.

Brown Betty is a tall, lanky bear.

Her brownish green colour is sensuous.

I love how the caramel patches draws light onto the bear and creates a sense of motion.

Brown Betty would be a sweet gift for a birthday or anniversary.
