:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
You're a riot :crackup:
I think that this must be the smallest I have seen so far.  we need measurements though. Your thumb could after all ,be a whopping big one. :crackup:  :crackup:
It wouldnt be a bad challenge for next year. Who can make the smallest.???

greatwon2 Dec 23, 2006

from top of head to bottom is about 26 - 27 mm

sorry its not accurate but i dont have a mesuring tape only a ruler!

only took about 2 hours to make and about 1 1/2 of them were turning the pieces(it was a rush job just to see if i could)

another challenge to go with the one u suggested could be see who can make the smallest with the least swearing )

ps...  id fail!!!!

THIS IS NOT MINE... REPEAT NOT MY CREATION... but I did bump into it and was amazed by its small size. 

I hope someday to be making bears the size of two joints of your index finger... I'm not sure if I would practically want to go smaller... but I wonder who has made the smallest. 

SORRY AGAIN I CAN'T GRANT PROPER CREDIT TO THIS PICTURE...

That´s a really tiny bear. Well done.

The smallest bears I have ever made was 1,5 inch fully joined.
Unfortenatly I didn´t take a picture before I sold them

hi all

just thought id mention that ive started making an even smaller bear than the one above(again tiny not well made!!)but christmas being upon us has suspended all work for the moment    ill post a pic once i get it finished(or should i say IF i get it finished - very frustrating these little bears!)

Articicle - do you know how that tiny bear is made? i thought maybe it was needle felted cause its soooo small but very neat(but maybe its just only me who cant hide stitching on such little space   )

bye

or as tigger would say
TTFN(  ta ta for now)

I wouldn't win for the no swearing award either....that's why I leave my bears ears until the very end, I want them to retain some sense of innocence!     

The smallest I have made at the moment is just over an inch  (about 28mm)- I would like to go smaller, but I want to retain a normal head with gusset and foot and paw pads so I'm not sure how much smaller I can get.  The red and white panda was my first micromini, the blue and white one my second - they both measure about just over an inch.

those links to that lady are insane!!!  she fits two creations into a walnut!!!!  Her mouse was 3/8th of an inch!!!!

WOW

the detail is even great... thats just wow.

AS for the picture I ran accross, I should have kept better track of the link.  I don't know anything about the little ladybug fairy bear or its creator... :redface:  sorry

the person who puts two bears in a walnut has got to be the best I have seen yet!!! and for being so tiny they are still great quality too.... WOW again.

Article ... what do you think ??

Well jodi, I think with all this fine inspiration making a mini is in order for me next.  I'd love to pull off one of those inch tall ones but maybe palm sized to start with is a bit more doable. 

this weekend I pledge to at least cut some fabric... as a new bear maker I'm still a it intimidated by the blank canvas.  fortune favors the bold?

Cutting the first cut is always the hardest especially if it is mohair that cost a fortune!! 
BUt go and enjoy the trip it will take you on.
