A little old bear on a little old chair

Yesterday my friend Karen brought round her ancient and much-loved teddy bear (Michael) for a shoot. I believe her great-grandmother made him for Karen and gave him to her when she was born (did I get that right, Karen? Sorry if I didn't!!) As you can see, he has been loved to pieces.

Pics all in vintage effect, as per Karen's request. For obvious reasons.







Me, hard at work. I mean, the bear was unruly, just wouldn't sit still for a moment!
