Smallest bear?

[Elizabeth]

Does anyone know how small is the smallest teddy bear? in the world:puzzled:

[Pietero]

This little ted is only 5mm high. He is called Mini the Pooh and is made by German sculptor Bettina Kaminski. He is so incredibly tiny that it is almost invisible to the naked eye.

Hello all
Regarding the smallest bear, Cheryl Moss of Mossie Bears holds the world record. Here is an extract taken from her web page www.mossiebears.com (http://www.mossiebears.com)
"Tiny Ted" holds the current Guinness World Record for the smallest hand-sewn teddy. He is 4.5mm tall and is fully jointed with hand sewn eyes, nose and mouth. He lives in the Cheju Island Teddy bear museum in Korea and is displayed under a magnifying glass, for all to see"
As I am not able to transfer a photo of him, please have a look at the website for a photo of him.
Regards
Carol

How do one make such a tiny ted?

[PeachtreeCottage]

Actually there is a lady in South America (Brazil I think but I"m not sure of which country) who has made a 3mm size bear that is the smallest. She is in the process of having it verified by Guiness as the new record.
