Finally got to take pictures of Sheriff Lightning today, and thought I would share. My Husband is addicted to old Westerns. He has a life-sized cardboard cutout of the Lone Ranger and Tonto at camp, and I thought this guy would fit in quite well. David loves his bear and named him Lightning (after a sheriff in an old Western)
The bear body is wood, feet are wood covered with fur. Arms and head are man-made fur, body is wrapped with quilt batting, with extra in the tummy to give him a pot belly like the sheriffs always had. The pants, chaps, hat are all purchased. The shirt was one that i made for my son (Hubbby had a matching one) when he was 4 years old (he's now 28!)
Past Time BearsWhat a wonderful idea, Ellen! The bear is fantastic - you were very creative in his construction. How tall is he - looks like he might be big! Well done . . . no wonder your hubby loves him!
Terries BearsWow, Ellen, what a fabulous bear! He must be quite big if he is wearing a shirt that would fit a 4 year old.....very creative!!!!!
