Here is Bear #3, "Blue Monday". I love the mohair, a dense, curly/wavy mohair called Antique Blue.  He's 16" tall.

I know his eyes might seem scary, but I was going for the intense look of the old Bing bears. The flash is blanking out the Copic marker shading I've done - time to photograph him in natural light. Anyway, hope you like him! 

Poor fellow went through the mill: I attached his arms and legs, they weren't in the right place for me.... unstuffed, 2 or 3 sets of arm/leg joints later... a learning experience for his boy shape!

And the guy was blind for 2 months as I waited for different sizes of eyes to show up in the mail... (shaking fist at Canada Post)
