bears by beesley TMGreat job Kim! I have not tried my hand at real fur and to be honest, I am scared too. You brave girl you. You did a very nice job!
Hugs Louise
Kim, your bear is adorable. You did an awesome job for a 1st real fur bear !
I feel like you Louise ,except that I only make fur bears and am afraid to try Mohair. 
I just finished my first real fur bear and found it more complex to work with than mohair. Also, it's much harder to trim evenly -- for me, anyway. Tammy, if you've mastered real fur already, mohair will be a cinch, I think! And Louise... don't be scared, but do be informed. It took me twice as long, and then some, to make a real fur bear.... even after asking lots of questions, reading Nancy Tillberg's TEDDY BEARS WITH A PAST (a VERY useful reference book), and getting lots of inquiries answered by Nancy herself -- along with other real fur wonders like our own Judi Paul -- on Nancy's NORTH COUNTRY TEDDY BEARS SITE. It was hard work and very frustrating at times, but worth it. I like the result a lot; real fur is just so glossy and wonderful. Give it a try!
Oh Shelli can we see pictures. I know your bear will be amazing. They are much more time consuming, but are so nice from the real fur I think.
Kiprie BearsGreat bear KIM !!!!! she is truly cute 
did you use
glass nose or wax ? her nose is so cute too.
Hugs/Marie
Back Road BearsYes, Shelli, please get that bear to your photo closet and let us see.... it's fun that so many of you shared pics of your workspace, I can picture you all there!:D
Kim-Bee Bears
Marie - the nose is fimo clay that has been lacqured (so it shines and protects the fimo)
I dont know what to name this guy.... The one in the top left corner (he is Winnie the Pooh colored with a satiny teal bow)
Back Road BearsOh, Kim, that white furry guy is amazing. Love the nose, great idea!!!
Kim-Bee BearsThank you... his nose is three different colors of embroidery floss (dark brown, med brown and a beigy brown) and then I lacqured and shaded around it I need to do more fun colored noses like his 
maybe i will do a bright pink bear with purple, green and pink nose... hmm..... the wheels are turning!
Delartful BearsYes, I have to agree, Love em all Kim, but I especially love scruffy!

Here is Sophie who is 18 inches tall. She will be going into the Sunflower Festival this weekend for sale and if she doesn't sell there she will probably go on ebay! Although I really enjoy working with mohair she is made out of a synthetic fur. I love a lot of the textures you get in synthetic.
Jane
Pretty!
Past Time BearsWow, Jane . . . such a nice color! Hope she sells at the festival . . . good luck!
Kiprie BearsJane, Sophie is beautiful ! I like the color of synthetic fur. very nice !
Kim:Oh nice picture !! I can see the bear face. they are all so cute!!!
Thank you for sharing the secret of nose! I learned new thing * lacqured*.
And can I ask you again ? what is the lacqured ?? can you buy them at
