Joanne,

The word that comes to mind---"exquisite"

I cannot even begin to imagine the patience and time involved with your technique of rooting the mohair on the felted muzzle and around those eyes...but the results are sooooo worth all the effort. bear_wub   I cannot think of any other way you could achieve the effect.

But I have got to say I am envy those tootsies bear_thumb and those little toenails bear_thumb (they are so widdle we can hardly call them claws  bear_tongue

Having just completed Judy's felted faces class I can now REALLY appreciate the 'thousands' of stabbings and jabbings that go into felting a piece like your little deer...(again thumbs up bear_thumb in the infinite patience department).  He is a charming addition to this piece.

They are both a reminder that some of us better get going on those Xmas trees!

Oh Peter, I only make one bear a month now that I am back to work part-time. (I work at a school) I think this set actually took about 5 weeks.  I work every day, 7 days a week for at least a couple of hours.   I obsess over details. The bear always needs one more thing.   So I will have to say at least 60 hours, probably more.
Thanks for your interest
Joanne

ps:  Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments.  They have made my weekend
