niska_gallery02.JPGHello everyone!   :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Here's my newest guy.  It seems like forever since I've created a big bear and I had this coat just crying out to me to be recycled -  bear_grin

I created Niska with recycled raccoon fur, leather paws with claws, leather open/close mouth with hand carved moose antler teeth, hand painted eyes....  I hope you can visit his auction at http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie … :IT&ih=008  bear_original

Thank you for taking a peek at him here!  :rose:

Thank you Elaine & Tanya!   bear_flower  bear_flower  :hug:  :hug:   Tanya... the open/close mouths are fun - they do give a bear a lot of personality.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with one!  bear_thumb

Wow. He's beautiful, great fur for a bear. Not that I've looked up close to a real bear, but he sure does look real. I was looking at his teeth, too, and wondering how you made them...antler horn...did you carve them. They look very real.
