I can’t believe how pudgy this fellow turned out to be. I really thought that he would have a slimmer profile based on the fur I was using. However, sometimes you are caught unaware, and the end result gives you a totally unanticipated look. That’s why it is so much fun making teddy bears. However, I am totally pleased with his final form. He is made out of a faux fur, which turned out to be much harder to work with than anticipated. Again, I thought this would be an easy fur to work with (ha ha). I have done very extensive scissor and needle sculpting to his face and have added some color to bring out his features. He has hand blown glass eyes to which I have added a single upper eyelid and double lower eyelids. His nose is hand embroidered with a dark brown pearl cotton. He wears a double ruffled collar in a rust grosgrain with a heart which coordinates with his fur color.

The bear is about 10-1/2" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 7" sitting. He is five way jointed with hard board disks, locks nuts and a cotter pin in his neck. He has a pouch of copper BB’s in his bottom for a bit of added weight and has wool felt paw pads which have been cathedral sculpted with subtle shading added. His arms are also wired to give him more pose-ability. He does not have a name. Since he is being adopted, it is up to his new mother or father to give him a name they deem appropriate.
