I’ve been focusing on grizzly bears this winter, tracking the physiological changes that occur between cub and adult. Gabriel represents my most ‘adult’ bear to date, with a lot of pattern changes including smaller feet, a radically altered neckline, a longer, thinner body and a smaller face. he’s also my first realistic bear with a contrasting muzzle. Gabe is about 18" long and 10" high at the shoulder and is made of super-dense Tissavel faux with an inset muzzle and has leather paw pads, nose and eyelids. he has leather claws – a new, stiffer claw attached to a re-designed armature allowing for more poses with more lateral movement. Gabriel has 4 disk joints and 10 mechanical joints, along with a complete neck and spine-to-tail backbone. Gabriel comes with his 5" silver leather trashcan and assorted leather can and bottles with ‘vintage’ labels.

sorry, I can't seem to upload anything here today, for more details, see my facebook album:

every time I upload here today, it uploads and goes to a blank box - then when I try again, it tells me the file already exists on the server - I'm tired of re-naming files only to have it happen again. anybody else having problems???
