This is blue bell. I know she looks like a boy .,but she's not. She has a needle felted muzzle,nose with an open mouth and little wee tongue. She stands at 6.6 inches. She is the same pattern as woodrow but with a shorter muzzle. I wanted to be able to accommedate the needle felting. I would still like to give her a paint job. But not quite sure. So will wait until I know what I'm doing. (I'll be waiting an awlful long time):lol::lol:

Oh, she's lovely! I didn't realised her muzzle was needle-felted until I read your text - it looks great, and I especially love her nose! How clever you are!!!
I'm really impressed. Its hard to keep up with all these wonderful bears, but you have done such a good job on the face I had to comment. As to the paints do a search on Shelli's oil paint technique. It is so easy and worked a treat on my needlfelted eyelids, I got them the same colour as the mohair. Dead easy. Just ask if you can't find it and I will explain what she does.
Hi Matilda
I love the needlefelted face...and the nose is gorgeous..
I want to do a face like that!! I'm envious lol

Hi Matilda,
that's wonderful. I really luv the face. It's amazing the amount of character that you acheived with the needle felting. Sure hope I can get the hang of it myself. Great I've finally gotten to see a pic of one of your bears.
oooh sooo gorgeous, your work is really wonderful, I can't wait to see more!

Beautiful Matilda!!! What a sweetheart!!!
Many Hugs Louise
Thankyou for the applause. Needle felting is so easy, it would be a shame if anyone was ever put off. Do give it a try. You'll be amazed.
I bought this fabric at a fair. Totally spontaneous buy. She's my favourite bear at the moment.
