IMG_0943.JPGIMG_0936.JPGJust to show I haven't been slacking here is my new Koala for ebay, on this Sunday night coming. Flossie is 2 3/4" tall and I used the chenille pipe cleaners in her arms. It makes such a difference to the poses you can get. It brings them to life. Thanks to whoever suggested them. I used good old Sassy's fabric and onyx bead eyes for a change, also the tiny cotterpins.

Oh I was having a 'moment' yesterday, 'me heads in the shed' as the kids say. The eyes are glass, not onyx, thats the one I was working on yesterday.

Chris I use forceps to turn. They grip a little fabric inside, lock, and then you start turning. I got them off ebay with tweezers that I use to stuff with. I could not do without them, well them and my thin curved needle!

What a little sweetie!!  How on earth can you make something so small?  Isn't turning right side out impossible?  I am just a chicken when it comes to building small bears.  One day....

Ack!  What a cutie!  Love that little sad face and droopy ears.  Good luck with the auction but I highly doubt you'll need it; this snookums will sell itself!

Tweezers!  I never would have thought!  But this pink koala was an inspiration for me to cut out a 3" bear this evening and try to turn the small legs - I managed without wrecking it and it sure is cute.  Really up there on the "awwwww" meter.  Thanks Stephanie for the tweezer hint!
