"My nose keeps getting bigger and my feet keep getting fatter. Too bad I can't see the latter cause my tum-tum's in the way."

Meet Stoney.... made from a light gray mohair with darker gray cotton strings, this boy has attitude!
Look at that snout! And those feet are huge! Never mind his belly!

He's filled with glass beads and a little bit of polly fill. At 15 3/4 inches tall he weighs in at 3 1/2 pounds! That's a heavy bear!

Not sure if he'll be for sale in the future or not but I sure had fun playing with some new pattern ideas (not all of them turned out the way I'd envisioned!) and a mohair I'd never tried before.

He's one of a kind, that's for sure!

Very adorable Daphne, I love the stance on him with his arms behind him kinda makes him look all prim and proper like bear_grin . Well done and yes 3.5 lbs is heavy. I think our heaviest is about 18" tall and weighs close to 6lbs because of so much steel shot in his feel and hands .
