Thanks Jodi
I am also going to try and double jointed neck as I never have done that before. so hopefully he turns out ok.
He will be about 10" but I do make 4" bears, so i will give it a go on a smaller one. Have you needle felt before at all?
When you do a face you have to make the muzzle alot smaller than you would do on a normal bear, trim the fur and needle felt into the mohair backing, or paw pad fabric which ever you choice.
Good luck, would love to see it when you have done it. If you need any help at all don't hesitate to email me.
Cheers

I have never tried felting before, I think that is why it has taken so long for me to start. Plus... my life is crazy right now with the divorce going on and all. I am not comfortable in my own home any more ...just can't design...so when I get my life back on track I want to try my hand at this... but I can tell it will take me over and I will be a felting maniac !!

I hope your life gets better soon, I now when you just don't feel like yourself, it doesn't matter how hard you try you just can't design or achieve what you want. When you are ready to give it a go you can email me for help at any stage.
goodluck

Jodi,don't feel so blue,hopefully time will heal what you are going through, and you will someday turn  with a big smile and say "If I wasn't happy I'm now free to be happy! I am not too aware of your situation. But I feel you soOOO! blue & down.
Joy is surrounded with in you,its up to you! Do you want to let go too?
Only remember we are passing through!
Don't let the blue days eat you or make you sick. Cause you very,very speicial in here too!
Instead repeat  to yourself and say " I am special Jodi not only to myself, I am strong & will pull through,I will get through this and I am coming through" :hug:  :hug:  :hug: Jodi.
