I just finished this commission bear this past weekend for a lady that adopted Grace at the Schaumburg Show. She wanted a black and cream bear to go along with Grace, who is red and cream. I just sent pics off to her for her approval; I hope she likes him! As always I'm nervous that she'll hate him! bear_wacko Her favroite colors are black and red, hence the colors. :)

He's made from Intercal's 825H, hand dyed. Handpainted glass eyes, embroidered nose, sculpted toes... :)

This last picture is of Grace.

Your faces are becoming more and more identifiable as YOU; very distinctive and sweet. Nice job on the little black bear; he's a great partner to the red one. I'm sure your collector will be so pleased!

How could your client resist that face. He has such a wonderful face and I love the colors. He and Grace will make a nice couple...did you name him? bear_wub

Marlys, I have a couple of names picked out but have not decided on the final one yet. bear_original I guess I'd better get crackin'!

Amelia, lol, is it one that you made? If so (or even if not I suppose!), you've gotta show me a pic!

Thank you so much, Pauline! bear_original I've never truly had to pair 2 like-pattern bears up before, so I was worried they just wouldn't look right together!
