Wearable bears

Mike's Ward's Bear Jacket

 Nelson, well known for its arts scene, is the home of the wearable arts festival which eventually got so big and famous that it was moved to Wellington.

One of the entrants is Mike Ward: artist, city councillor,  former MP and local identity. His latest entry (you can see it at his art studio in the city) is a treat - a wearable bears jacket - all the bears made by Mike from sackcloth and demin. I liked the sleepy bear on the sleeve.
