Today I finished a bear that makes me very happy indeed! <3 I am absolutely bowled over by him. I really don't want to sell him in many ways, but in other ways I need to - and besides, I'd have a house full if I kept everyone I liked! bear_original I'm not even really sure what to sell him for! bear_ermm anyway ... enough waffle...

Please meet Eric! :D

This is himself with Dazzle - another of my bears:

He's poseable, jointed with snap fastners bear_original which gives him a wonderful 'wibbly wobbly' kind of character! bear_original

OK, this is a bit of a long thread because I have three bears to show bear_original they're my first attempts, and all in felt because it's all I can afford at the moment, I yearn to work with fur, but unfortunately, not an option right now, so I'm practising in felt! bear_original

First bear is Elliot - he's also the smallest (not that I've measured the size of any of them!)

Gorgeous! bear_laugh Full of character!

Not for bears, but I do My Little Pony customisation too - and have often used Milliput - which is awesome stuff. I also use it to repair ornaments, or toys, especially if there are chips etc. It's good to sand when dry, and it's really quite solid, rocklike stuff. Again, an epoxy, and really pleased with the results it gives :)

Hey all,

Just wondering if there's a good rat pattern that anyone can recommend? Ideally a free pattern online, but would welcome suggestions of ones I can buy too :)

Zoundz

Thank you for that - I'm not great at needlefelting, I don't think I do it *enough* everything seems much looser than some of the stuff I've seen here! :)

xx

Zoundz

Awwwwwwrrrr! bear_laugh I am knocked over by the cuteness <3

Hoe do you attach the face to the head of it's needle felted? May be a dumb question (sorry!)

xx

Zoundz

I am bowled over - I have never seen such a stunning horse needle felted! bear_laugh Very very very well done <3 I am tres jealous!
