Pumpkin & Pickle Bears Mar 26, 2008

Bunty is a custom order for a lovely lady from Wales. Her sister is the proud owner of Lottie (in my avatar). The lady wanted the bear as much like Lottie but still keeping it looking a bit different - the bear is much bigger than Lottie though as this lady likes the big ones. I'm quite pleased with her - she looks like a big sister of Lottie. Bunty is 17-18" tall and has taken me the longest a bear has EVER taken me!!!!

Thank you so much Sophie and Pauline!  :hug:

Her new mum is over the moon with her - I have to make another one for Christmas for her sister who owns Lottie - this one will probably be in a lilac colour though. The fur used on Bunty is lovely - I made another bear with this fur at the end of last year too who will be going to Australia with me to be hand delivered to a customer in Alice Springs.

Oh wow...where do you guys purchase your beautiful furs? And the eyes? I can only find the normal looking ones but never these kinds

DUH silly me   I didnt realise I was looking at two different bears. DUH
I love the muzzle and feet. Is it needle felted? because it doesn't look like it. Brilliant job.

Oh wow...where do you guys purchase your beautiful furs? And the eyes?

The fur is from a lady who sells on ebay.co.uk. I've made another bear in this fur too. Her name is Lolly:

The eyes are hand-painted by me.

I love the muzzle and feet. Is it needle felted? because it doesn't look like it. Brilliant job.

Thank you Wendy! Yes, they are very firmly needlefelted - the muzzle took just over 10 hours to do and the feet were 11-12 hours!!

Hi Gemma,

Wow, your work is absolutely brilliant and it is easy to see that it has taken a long time to do the muzzle and foot pads.  You will have to give us all a lesson in needle felting as you have achieved a wonderful look!  Gorgeous!
