Manufactured bears are made by factory operators who assemble the bears. Very little love and dedication goes into producing these bears, whereas artist bears are specially created by teddy bear artists who have a vision of what they want their works to look like. So when you choose an artist bear, you'll know that it's going to have everything in it. The quality is there, the design is original, and the workmanship is the best. If the bear has synthetic fur, then it's definitely not a collector's item.
Synthetic fur feels very artificial, while mohair feels nice and warm.
You must feel connected to the bear. It must inspire a feeling of love in you and capture your heart. You must feel as though you want to hold it and have it for the rest of your life. That's my emotional approach towards choosing a collectible teddy bear . Updated monthly screensaver.
