Love hand crafted jewelry? Then this message is important! Beware of "artists" who are actually re-selling poorly crafted junk rather than crafting their own jewelry or you will be disappointed!
The first commercially made soft toy bears appeared around the late 1890's, with companies like Gebrüder Sussenguth and Steiff featuring bear toys in their catalogues.
Then in 1902, president Theodore Roosevelt had a rather unsuccessful hunting trip during which he refused to shoot a bear the rest of his hunting party had caught and tied to a tree, as he thought it'd be unsportsmanlike. The event was drawn into a cartoon and published in the Washington Post the very next day. The cartoon sparked the imagination of Morris Michtom and his wife Rose, who designed a stuffed bear toy in honour of Rooselvet's actions and with the president's permission the toy bear was named "Teddy". About five years later, there were over 20 companies in America alone making teddy bears.
The rest is, as they say, history!
Bear in mind that this selection of ursine art is just a pawful of all the great teddies that can be found in the Plushie gallery here on DA.
If you come across a plushie you'd like to see featured in the next installment of Plushology or if you are/know of a plushie artist in need of some attention, let me know!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
