Stunning work, Lisa. Wow!
Hi there
To create flews that hang down:
Create a 'skull' in cotton - a standard head shape. Stuff and joint
Create a cover for the head in mohair - not including the muzzle
For the muzzle, create the flews - line the flews with mohair outer and flesh coloured inner - possibly in ultrasuede or wool felt.
Create a lower jaw - again mohair outer and flesh coloured inner.
Assemble jaw, muzzle and head cover - stitching jaw, muzzle and cover to the cotton skull and each other with small invisible stitches
(You may want to wire the jaw into the 'skull')
Hope this helps.
Hi Becky
They are real cuties. I love the marbled mohairs. Pure luxury!

Aw Thanks so much Francesca, Pink, Thelma, Lisa and Melisa. Your feedback means a lot to me!
Many thanks Peter, Marilyn and Becky. I'm going to find it hard to part with him. Perhaps I'll put him at the back of my table and he'll come home with me!

They are both lovely. You must be delighted with them. The brown bear is my favourite. He is such a happy bruin.
This is Blithe. He is a black bear cub made using soft, black Schulte alpaca. He has a locline neck and spine, 4 joints and wired arms. His eyes are black, English glass and he has felted eye whites and leather eyelids. His muzzle has been hand-coloured. His nose has been hand-moulded. He is stuffed with Bouncifill and contains a calico bag of stainless steel shot, making him quite a hefty little chap. His pawpads are sculpted, brown glove leather. He is my favourite bear, so far. He will be accompanying me to the Teddy Bear Artist Event at Stratford-Upon-Avon on the 10th June.
Eliott is very sweet and much better than my first mohair bear was! Be warned, bear making is an addiction!
What a dear little panda. I love his gentle face.
What a delightful bunny. I would love to tickle those cute, little toes! Hoping you are now feeling better!
Too cute! I also have a soft spot for little porkers!
What lovely, happy bears you have drawn, Susana!
She is wonderful!

Hi Lisa
I hope you have a fab day! Unfortunately, I won't be there this year. My son's wedding is in under three weeks!

What a lovely panda, Susana. I love the shape of his head and his sweet expression.
She's a cutie, Pauline!
She's a beauty!
Wonderful, big bruin! 
Too cute!
Thanks SO much Jane. Your photos are great, as always! Hope you are on the mend.
