blue-foot.jpgblue-side.jpgblue-resize.jpgI bought some antique blue kid mohair from Alison at eteddy's and just LOVED it.  Here is the bear that resulted.  He is my first experience with eyelids (not sure what I think) and ultrasuede eye whites (thanks Joanne!).  He has a growler and stands about 12".  I gave him trapunto toes in a gray ultrasuede and I was mostly pleased with the results (I think the thread showed up more on the ultrasuede, maybe it was the type of thread I used as it didn't seem to hold the shading dye as well).  Since this photo of was taken I've shaded his muzzle a tad more and tidied him up with a bit of a trim to the cheeks, but is essentially the same.  Thanks for letting me share him with you.

He's a cutie, Shanna! I'm sure with your further trimming, his mouth is a little more visible. Is that a little tail I see? He must be so lovely to hold.  :love:

Oh, and his paw pads look great! bear_thumb

Thanks everyone.

Debora-
  YES!  He does have a tail.  I love the tails!

Katy-
   I'm having so much fun with the bigger bears.  So far I enjoy them more as I feel you can fit a little more detail in.

Thanks again everyone!
