The Viola Stole Bears
The Viola stole is made from real seal fur from the Alaskan Seal Company.
Viola is Barb's mother, and Barb asked Diane to make two bears from it,
one for each of her daughters. The paw pads are made from a pair of leather gloves
that Barb used to wear, making the bears "two generation bears". The bears were
named Vi and Ola. Below are some pictures of the original stole, the gloves and of course, Vi and Ola!
