(She's not the one who painted it, only designed)
Name: Flutterby Bear
Location: Hans Cresent, SW1X 0LZ
Designer: Emma Watson
Emma Watson has taken inspiration from butterflies (duh!) and designed the very lovely and elegant Flutterby Bear
The statue, among other personalities' designs, will be placed around London in November to celebrate the launch of The Paddington Trail.
The trail will be set up beginning 4 November until the end of December.
It will encompass museums, parks, shops, and iconic landmarks, all of which are inspired by Paddington's adventures in his favourite city.
Locations will be as far spread out as Heathrow to the west through to the O2 in the east, including The Royal Opera House, Museum of London, Horse Guards Parade, the Museum of Childhood, and of course, Paddington Station.
The trail will end in Selfridges, where a selection of miniature statues and a dedicated Paddington concept store will be on offer to shoppers.
The Selfridges Paddington Curiousity Shop will raise funds for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the statues themselves will likewise be auctioned off later in the year to raise money for a variety of charities.
