count me in, got a couple of ideas already
I found the felt on ebay last year
I made rainbow about a month ago but have been to busy to show him on here. He's made from hand dyed mohair from woodland teddies. He has felt paws, hand painted eyes, some needle and scissor sculpting to his face. Hes 2ft tall and full of cuddles
He loves cakes and tea in the garden
He's so gorgeous
thanks Lisa
gorgeous bears
I'm in love with bingo
they are both great bears
Hello everyone
I took a break for a few months, so here is my first bear that I made after my break. His name is tooty fruity, he is made from hand dyed mohair, which I bought from ebay. I have given him feet in different felt colours, although I'm not sure I like it now He has hand painted blue eyes and a nose I'm happy with for once, I'm definitely improving
I really wish I could say I dyed it, but I didn't I got it from Noble Fabrics on ebay
Here is my first bear of 2009. His name is Rusty, and he is made from multi coloured mohair, orange felt and orange hand painted eyes. Rusty is made from my kermit pattern
Here is my last bear of 2008. His name is Icy (or Ic for short), and he is made from pale blue mohair with sparkly bits, white felt that I added glitter too and blue hand painted eyes. Icy also has glitter on his nose, ears and paws. Icy is made from my kermit pattern with a few improvements
yes it was very hard to sew with all that fur, I kept getting it trapped and sewing up the back was a nightmare I lost my needle several times :crackup: Pinky now lives with my bestfriend bunnybear and I now have my very own bunnybear bun called apricot
thank you you wont have to wait long as I'm about to reveal my last bear of 2008 and first bear of 2009
I wish I could take credit for there wonderful colours, but I bought the mohair from ebay so I have no idea how it was dyed
here is posie. When I first started working on posie I didn't like her :redface: but once I had finished her I fell in love
She has also gone to a new home
Here is Little Potter:love: I was very sad to see him go to his new home
but his new mummy loves him very much and is going to knit him some clothes awwww
thanks everyone
He's just over 8inches I think or is he 10 :doh: reallly need to measure him again as I've forgotten :crackup:
thanks everyone I've got 3 bears cut out ready sew in time for christmas so no time for more experiments til after christmas now
On wednesday night I decided to do an experiment. I didn't know how this bear would turn out, and at 6 inches he is the tinyest bear I've ever made. He's taken me less than 48 to finish :O
