HodgeSmall.jpgTypically my camera died after one shot so I've not got all the pics I want to show the detail of Hodge but he has pulled paws and toes and a tail in the same fur as his toes/aws/inner ears.
His ears are positional so you can change his expression.

Not sure I'm a fan of using such a long fur yet, its a bit of a pig to work with but the effects I do like though... may persevere and try again

hope you like him, comments invited bear_laugh

http://www.oscarbears.blogspot.com/

when i get yo make more I'm going to put more indepth posts about their jouney from fur to bear :)

Now to sort a new etsy shop

Gixer

More fab ideas thank you

I've posted up on here and put one on a facebook group for arstist bears for sale

Know of a couple shops in my local town I might go try on my day off in the week

fingers crossed now, I really really want to make more but we live life on a very tight budget so spending even £20 on kit can't happen until I sell someone!

Thanks guys I've been out and bought them all some accessories and stuff to tag them with so will take better pics of the clan later and offer them up for adoption.

I'll be sad to see a coupe of them go but its the ONLY way I can make any more, I'm in the middle of using up my last piece of fur and my stuffing bag is looking decidly empty as for joints.... none left at all!!

have to say I keep coming back for another look she really is my kind of bear  bear_wub

Gixer

Just lookin for advice, I only want to sell some to fund this new found addiction of mine :D

I looked at bearpile but the fee put me off straight away, I can't seem to find and bear based fairs in my area at all :(

Suggestions welcomed

Gixer

I do so love your bears their expressions are just brilliant you can't help but smile when you see them!

Gixer

from experiance be prepared to wait, I don;t know how new Diesel is but I've heard form some retailers that they can wait over a year sometimes to get new bears in from Charlie  Bears!
