Sammie is my first attempt to do eyelids and I guess that it takes a lot of practise to learn the technique. but it was a lot of fun! ;)Next time I will buy white felt and try to put it under the eyes.
I also used clay to make claws for Sammies feet.
Ooooh, there's so many things I want to try! Thanks to you all for giving me the inspiration!
Those claws are fabulous!

Oh - does he melt your heart or what?
Does he have a removable glove on or is that something else? It doesn't seem visible in the second photograph.
How tall is he?
Oh I'll shut up before I put both feet in my mouth.

Hehe, putting your feet in your mouth doesn't sound that nice! (maybe that's just because I'm a vegetarian and don't eat meat! )
Sammie has a knitted glove and he actually has it on on both pictures! Maybe it's hard to see cause he has his arm behind his head.
Hm... I haven't measured him but I think he is a tall boy, around 30 cm.
Hehe, putting your feet in your mouth doesn't sound that nice!
Just one of those quaint English expressions

Haha, ok Sandra good to know that you really will NOT eat your feet
A wonderful creation Jennie!!! :hug: How do you attach your claws???
He's great! I love all the things you have done with him.
Plus, you did a super awsome job on those claws!
Wonderful creation, Jennie . . . love your work!
Clar, I made the claws in black clay. I did a loop of metal string and put it in the end of each claw before burning the clay in the owen. Then I stitched them on just as the eyes! And to hold them steady I put some glue under each claw.
Try it, it's a lot lof fun!
Sammie is SUPERB Jennie :clap: :clap: :clap:
He's so original and magical - love him

Did you know that closed mouths gather no feet?!!!
Great bear Jennie. His fur looks so smooth and sleek. I really like that look.
