Yes I see what you mean. Thanks.
I sort of lost interest, when it didn't turn out as expected, so I haven't neatened up the fur properly.
I will carry on and make the best of him....promise!

Hi everyone
Can anyone give me a little advice?
Whenever I try to needlesculpt my teds face, I end up making a bridged nose, and it always ends up
with a grumpy boy bear!!
What I really want is the effect of a pretty little girl without the frown.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
Thanks

Thanks Elaine/Wendy,
I have made a few half hearted attempts over the last few years, but I sort of lost the motivation.
Fortunately, I've just found  again, and I think I'm back on track.
I've been working full time for the last eight years or so (I'm a nurse working in a hospital),
so haven't got as much time as I would like, but hopefully will be back doing what makes me tick,
which is creating! I love the buzz that you get, when you surround yourself with all your bits and bats, and make a start on a new project.
I'll post some more soon, hopefully.

Hi everyone
I've been struggling to upload an avatar....couldn't reduce the size, but I finally managed it.
This bear is one that I designed in the year 2000, it was to enter a competition run by a firm called Compton and Woodhouse
in London. I won the competition, and part of the prize was to have the bear reproduced by Deans to an edition of 4,950.
The bear was then advertised in the Sunday supplements to Daily Mail, and Daily Express. I called the bear Father Time, and here he is!
I was sooo proud..............and I thought I'd share it with you.
The question is, how can I use this (belated) achievement to boost my street cred., and help sell my bears on Ebay?

Sorry...my name is Sheila, and it's a relief in a way, to know that most of you are as disorganized as I am!!
