In 2005 R. John Wright Dolls created a one of a kind for the American Teddy Bear Relief Auction to benefit victims of the Tsunami Disaster.

The piece consisted of three fully-jointed 23" bears made of mohair with glass eyes and embroidered features. Made in various shades of mohair plush they reflected the diverse world population. They were posed around a handmade globe of Earth made entirely of felt with applied continents, raised relief mountain ranges and hand painted detail. This magnificent piece realized $25,000 at the benefit auction.

In view of the current world crisis which we are all facing, this theme of teddies hugging the World is more needed than ever. Now R. John Wright will be producing a limited edition of this one of a kind piece.

Each teddy in the "hug" encircling our troubled planet measures 8 inches. Like the original, each bear if fully jointed and made of finest mohair plush. Also featured will be a detailed handmade felt Earth. The entire ensemble will be displayed on a felt covered wooden base. Included is a custom-made museum quality protective acrylic cover measuring 12" in height.

This timely R. John Wright "Hug" is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide.

A portion of the sales of each "Hugs Around the World" will be donated to a charity helping those directly affected by the corona-virus outbreak.
