Meet Gumdrop, the Punky Bear 🍭🖤
Gumdrop isn’t your average teddy. She’s a one-of-a-kind, upcycled antique bear that’s been given a whole new life. Originally a stand-up collectible, I carefully freed her from her old post and removed all the ribbons and adornments she had worn over the years. What’s left is her true self—a perfect canvas for creativity.
I gave her a patchwork tie-dye makeover, but not just any tie-dye: parts of her are vibrant, melted colors, and other parts show off the natural antique textures beneath, creating a beautifully cracked, aged effect. Tiny pearls stitch her together in places, like little glimmers of light holding her history and her new life in perfect balance. And on her chest? A sweet, whimsical ice cream cone—because every punky bear deserves a little fun.
She’s versatile, too. Gumdrop can stand, sit, or hang from her custom hook covered in delicate roses, letting you display her however your heart desires. This is a bear that’s both rebellious and elegant, soft yet striking, and full of personality.
Gumdrop isn’t just a decoration—she’s a story, a statement, and a piece of art all rolled into one. Perfect for collectors, dreamers, and anyone who wants a little punky sweetness in their home.
