How striking! 
I think the two eye colors happens pretty often in all-white cats, but thanks to the Internet I've also see quite a few calicos like the famous Venus.

Congratulations on your first show! It was a brilliant partnership, I'd say, since the vintage furnishings go so well with the traditional teddies.
You had a nice range of colors and fabrics, and I quite like Hepburn in lavendar. The tweedy foot pads work nicely on some of them.
It looks as if you need to practice sewing rounded shapes such as ears, but overall, I can see why your teddies were appealing to people!
Becky
Oh, how sweet... I really love the clothes and other details you've been giving your bears.
Becky
Aww...such a sweetie I'm fond of a bear with a red nose, and this one looks extra good on the contrasting white muzzle.
Becky
Olga, you are amazing! This is so clearly explained - in words and pictures. 
Becky
It is an unusual pattern. In your photo, is the muzzle/nose piece attached? (It seems like there should be a bulbous nose area protruding, and I don't see that.)
Regarding the lumps and bumps, I'd guess that sewing 8 darts (plus the four for the muzzle) and then sewing together two cup-shaped head pieces led to some odd shapes. It will be interesting to hear what Lanie says if she gets back to you.
Becky
Maybe show us photos of the head you've made? And of the pattern pieces?
Becky
That was my first thought as well with the nose stitching and overall form. The eyes look like replacements to me, and the age...maybe 1940s?
