Show-Bear-10-5.JPGShow-Bear-10.jpgShow-Bear-10-2.JPGHi all, some of you wanted to see this little cub; he's the first open mouth bear I've done.  He has an ultrasuede tongue and I decided to change it up a bit and do his eyes with Amber Glass eyes instead of the handpainted ones I normally use. Of course, he's without his finishing accessory, a bow or something.  I hope you all like him! :)

bear_original bear_original Thank you ladies soo much!  My husband doesn't like him... pooh on him! bear_original  He said he thinks his legs are too skinny... I told him he's a cubby!  he's gonna have spindly legs!  OK, OK, so I could have given him those fat pudgy cub legs, but I wanted him to look spindly and huggy.

Sabine,
which other forum?  Now you've got me all curious... bear_original

bear_original bear_original Aww, ladies, you are so sweet! Thank you! 

I guess I could have said: he is made from Intercal's 370 s/c and to be quite honset with you, I bought it at a show, so I'm not sure exactly what color it is!  But he's mohair! bear_original

bear_wub You ladies are so supportive; I love you guys!!!!!!  He can stand pretty well on his own, but I guess he's just kinda like a little cub... If he gets off balance, he's a bit wobbly!

Kim,
:redface: Wrong term perhaps? I meant the thread under General here on this forum. There is a thread on what type bear would seduce us. Yours would seduce me.  bear_innocent  :hug:

Awww, Sabine, that's truly a wonderful compliment to hear!  I wasn't aware of that thread, I think I'll have to take a minute and go look for it!  Thank you for saying that; it made me smile!  bear_wub

Judi, thank you so much.  I took a look earlier at the bears you have for your upcoming show!  Marvelous!!!!!  Where is the show you are going to?

HI Sandra,

Do you mean what method did I end up using for the open-mouth?  I cut my pattern the way I always do and then cut a slit for his mouth and made an insert for the inside of his mouth.

He's Intercal's 370 S/C, but I'm not sure what color.  i bought it at a show and neglected to write down the color.  bear_wacko
