Meet the bear I designed for the Progeria Gala, to be given to one of the afflicted children participating onstage! This is the bear I wish I'd owned as a child.
He's a cuddly traditional bear, 19 inches tall and made of Intercal's scrumptious 825K in Light Honey. Since he must be child-safe, his eyes and joints are plastic safety versions. He doesn't have a name yet, but he does have both a growler and a tail. His nose and claws are embroidered with Perle cotton, and his nose is lightly waxed.

Kim-Bee BearsHE IS DARLING - very big picture... can only see 3/4 of him but what I can see is adorable!
Past Time BearsGosh, Eileen . . . this bear is absolutely wonderful!! He has a great face and you did an outstanding job! :clap: :clap: :clap: 
Baird'sBears Thanks, Kim and Sue Ann! :hug:
Sorry about the bigpic. I guess I should resize by inches? Still can't get a thumbnail to come up, dang :doh:
I had to pack him up immediately before I started to cry, or changed my mind, or something awful--off to the post office with him!!

Country BearsAwwww Eileen, he's SUPERB!!! I would have loved this as a child too, I didn't have a bear as a child..... :(
This gorgeous creation will be adored I'm sure, well done you!! :dance:
Eileen, I will no longer be sharing secrets and tips with you, because your work is progessing at a scarily marvelous pace, and I need to keep my customers. ;)
SUPERB bear! Some little one (or big one?) will be absolutely delighted with it, I'm absolutely certain. The nose is fantastic. Love it!

:hug: Thanks, Louise and Clare and Shelli :hug:
You guys always make me feel great . . . though I don't think you've got anything to worry about, Shelli!! But what a priceless compliment.
Anyway, I wrapped the little dude and took him straight to Envoi, a local shop that packs and sends stuff for businesses. I didn't trust myself. How do you girls do it, time after time? I'm a wreck!!
That said, I'm thrilled that some very sick child will own him, and really really hope he helps to ease the pain and suffering. Progeria sucks!!
Thanks again, lovely ones! :hug:

Baird'sBears:hug: Awwww, thanks, Penny! My pleasure. :hug:
Artist bears are special, but so are these children. I don't mean to suggest that adult collectors are unimportant, but I still think it's a bear's highest calling to comfort a child!

Matilda Huggington-beareNow he's really great. Love the claws.!!!! Great mohair. One of my personal favorites! :clap: :clap:
Terries BearsEileen, he is wonderful! I love everything about him!!
Baird'sBears:hug: Thanks, Matilda and Terrie! :hug:
All your nice comments are giving me great encouragement! Dr. Sanjay Gupta (cute medical expert on CNN) will be hosting the Gala--with any luck, this bear will get to meet him!
