Butterscotch-Chocolat-Twoso.jpgThese are my newest bears.  This is a photo from the eBay listing for BUTTERSCOTCH, so excuse the text, which doesn't quite make sense in this context, here at TT.

CHOCOLAT will post to my website (link in my signature!) shortly and is available for purchase, there.  www.potbellyarts.com 

BUTTERSCOTCH will be available on eBay for 7 days starting tonight, Sunday, May 3, at 7pm.   I think this link will work for you after 7pm tonight.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 0353348258  If not, and you're interested in viewing my auction, try looking me up as "potbellybears" there.

This is my first eBay auction since they so radically changed their rules, so I'm a bit nervous about how all those changes -- and my sabbatical from auction listings! -- will impact this sale.  Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Thanks for looking. bear_original

Aww, I love their noses -- is that acheived by continually sewing over and over again the same spot until you amass enough wool (I assume it's wool :/)?  The nose really complements those cow-like eyes.  :)

Hi Thomas!  Thanks for the kindness.

In answer to your question... YES, the noses are just a few built up layers of embroidery floss (the six-strand kind that you can get anywhere).  There's nothing under them like felt or padding; it's all floss.  I do shave the area under the nose completely and remove all mohair before stitching, though, to keep little hairy stragglers from poking through.

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much to everyone for the sweet words about these guys.  You know, I've been selling for years now, and I've even had the good fortune to win a few awards and nominations.  But I swear, I always have that butterflies-in-the-stomach thing whenever I post a new piece for sale.  Will people like it?  Will it sell?  Will I be able to pay my Visa bill?  lol...

Your positive comments are totally appreciated.  Thank you so much. bear_original
