What is the bearlamp? Why Bearlamp? I get this question a lot. This is the story.
A few years back I had a friend who was very interested in cosplay and costumes. She worked out that instead of making a bear-head mask from scratch; what you can do is take a giant-teddy-bear and cut it’s head off and turn it into a mask.
Brilliant. I had this idea in my head for a while when I came across another friend who had a teeny little desktop-sized teddy bear with a lampshade for a head. It was with these two pieces of information that I realised I held the key to a hilarious idea (make both). Which is great, but I didn’t have a bear. Only the idea.
Then. Within a week of having this ridiculous brainwave I was driving down the road and saw someone had thrown out a giant sized bear. It was mine.
One trip to the hardware store, some stitching, and I give you:
One.
Bear.
Lamp.
