Another trick is to hold what you are working on in front of a mirror. That'll show you what's crooked or needs more trimming too!

Pictures and mirrors can bring out the worst! :crackup:
And the best! bear_flower

I do the mirror trick also. It really works. It catches what the eye does not see. bear_thumb

Looks fantastic! :clap:
I often hold a bears's head upside down - which shows up anything thats not symmetrical.
Keep posting pictures - I'm really enjoying watching this come together!!!

So I do believe his face is done, so this is all you get until he is complete...hopefully later on today!!! once again, the pictures are the pits, but it will just make the finished product all that much better!!!

Oh, thanks , I never thought of using clear nail polish. Do you let each layer dry in between? bear_original bear_grin

K Pawz GuestAug 31, 2006

oh yeah!! If you don't let it dry between then it gets tacky and you can get uneven bumps in the nose...I started this nose last evening at 7 and finished the last of the coats this morning...the polish I use Sally Hansen Mega Shine extended wear dries pretty quickly, usually I leave 10-15 minutes between coats.

Wow Krista,
What a fantastic head you are working on....such a difference from the first piccys. He's going to be quite the attraction. i believe. Beautiful eyes and nose. Good idea on the Sally Hansen too....every peewilly little grocery store or drug store has Salley Hansen.
Looking forward to the finished bear....

I just wanted to let you guys know that I finished Morgan on Friday, but now have decided to change his ears, so you will have to wait a little bit longer for finished pictures....
