mink is fun to work with ... when the leather still is ok :D
lining or not is not easy answered, some say you absolutely need to - others say dont do it, the leather doesnt like the heat.

i made 1 little bear from mink, i did line it, which made it hard to turn ... he was just 12 cm or so.
i also needed to pull all the longer hair out because it looked like a fur ball with them ...
so i would sugest you, dont make it to small if the hair are longer :D

needlefelting on leather - NO WAY
embrodering a nose on lether - just when you totaly lucky

the single pookes / stitches each make a hole into the leather, if there are enough holes close enough together, you can just take the leather out ....
i myself solved this problem on the allready finished head with a insert of the muzzle.

do some research on google about working with leather
you need to be careful how to cut the leather.
how to sew the leather
and a lot of other things
(i didnt care, i just lined it (wouldnt do that again) and used back stitches)

thondra

ohhh natasha !
i really dont like the old looking style ...
but this little sweety stole my heart

thondra

WOW
this fur ... for a first bear ... amazing !!!!
and i KNOW how hard this kind of fur is to work with ! ... you really really did a good job here.

the only thing i would change - or make better next time ... the ears are hard to see ...
so either i would make them bigger (2nd choice)
or shorten some fur from the cupping in the ear and in front of the ears (1st joice)

but thats really the only thing i would adapt ....

thondra

sweet little one, with one realy cute expression bear_original
