Hello again!   :hug:

I'd like to re-introduce Ashley.  He's having a hard time finding a new mom, so I've decided to list him with a very low reserve of $250 - low considering the time & effort that went into him. 

Ashley is a 17" bear made from faux fox fur.  He has expressive glass doll eyes, leather paw pads and inner ears, felted and waxed nose (thank you Joanne for the great tips on that), and a wire armature.

I hope you can visit him on ebay ... http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie … 0395410057. 

Thanks for taking a look at him!
