The moment I saw the little Teddy Bear I thought of the Velveteen Rabbit.
WHY I thought of the Velveteen Rabbit when this is clearly a bear
is beyond me but....
the Velveteen Rabbit is my all time favorite children's book,
so I based my design on that.

Quote:

"You become. It takes a long time. That's why it
doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or
have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair
has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you
get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these
things don't matter at all, because once you are Real
you can't be ugly, except to people who don't
understand. Love makes you real"
