Hi... if you don't want the arms & legs to move, you can fully close them and then ladder stitch them onto the body. My gramma used to make ones that had buttons on the outside of the arm & leg joints.... she did what Lee Ann said above except that the stitch went through the arm, through the button then back through the button, arm, body, other arm, other button... hope that's clear enough... it's difficult for me to put it in words! 
Amazing and Adorable!!! 
What a memorable experience! I was in Australia for 5 years when I was younger & only saw 2 koala's in the wild... and we went hiking a lot. Thank you for sharing!!

Hello Everyone!
I'd like to re-introduce Zaira - I decided to give her a puppy cut & am so happy with how it turned out... her puppy cuteness is easier to see now! She's created as a puppy of about 5 months, so she has her adult colors. She is made from Tibetan lamb fur & has loads of realistic details.
I hope you can visit her at http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie … :IT&ih=008
Thank you for looking at her here.
It's neat to see all the differences! The rest of my family (hubby & three children) started with anti-clockwise and then could easily switch back and forth. The children had the easiest time with the first switch to the other direction.
Hi Everyone!
If you haven't seen this before, it is a neat thing to try out to see if you are right or left brain dominant, or if you are mix brained....

I started out clockwise, then after a bit could switch it back and forth. I think the trick is to relax!
Perfectly adorable!!
He is a gorgeous piece of art! Fabulous!!
Beautiful!!! They are both wonderful! And I love your tiny panda... too cute!!
I have loads of places I'd love to go, but Coffs Harbour in Australia is the place that immediately calls me! I went from being a teen to a young adult there, so there are many wonderful (and some painful) memories that keep it alive in my heart. I'm sure it's changed a lot since I lived there, but I there are some things that stay... like the jetty to Mutton Bird Island, the magic pools and the many beaches. But I'd need all expenses paid for all of us (me, hubby, and 3 kids)... I'll keep dreaming!
He's adorable! Love his hat! It's good to see how wisely you used your time!! :clap:
She is so sweet and wonderfully detailed! Great job on the needle felting!
Oh wow! That is amazing & inspriational... what a wonderful picture! Thank you for sharing it!!! :hug:
Hi Laura... I've tried different lengths, but I prefer my armature to go all the way into the paw with a loop at that end so there is no chance the wire end will damage the fabric. This allows for more posing, but I don't know that there are any rules about it... if you experiment, you'll find what you like. I hope this helps. Have fun with it!
What a beautiful little Puddle!!!
He's so sweet! Great design!
So absolutely gorgeously adorable!! Love them both!
I find on my bears a lot depends on how you trim the fur... if you look at this mad face emoticon 
you can see that there are definite lines making a V shape between the eyes.... if the fur ends up being longer in this area, it will make the bear look angry... however, if the lines are stronger on the outside of the eyes it makes the eyes look sadder. I hope this helps :hug: ... hard to explain in words!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you accomplish with the eyelids!
:hug: It's so great to see you are still creating! Your polar bear is absolutely adorable!!! You've done an amazing job on him! :clap: I hope we see more of your work soon!
