Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share my new polar bear with you all. I am one proud mummy right now:D
This is "Thorvald"; a 23" plar bear made from Intercal's ivory alpaca (plug plug!). I am particularly pleased with his double neck joint - I have adjusted my usual pattern and I think I have now found a better shape which enables the head to sit naturally on the body. Hurrah - it has only taken me about six years to figure this out, haha!
Anyway, this lovely guy was a commission, sadly, so I shall only be enjoying his company for a few more days yet. I may have to make one for myself...
Hugs,
Chris

Oh Christine!!! Fabulous!!!!!
Christine, I'm even as I type imagineering a polar from some Intercal white alpaca I've got myself. Sadly, I'm afraid he won't be quite as spectacular as yours. Really a terrific bear, with amazing proportions, and he looks so solid and well balanced and just kerplunkity, which is something I strive for, but don't always achieve, in my cubs. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!
DoodlebearsHi Chris...he is wonderful. I love your work but this one is really special. I will come over and say Hi at the Hugglets show in three weeks time.

Upstate New YorkChris,
He's amazing! I've been contemplating a polar bear. In fact, fur just came in the mail last week! Have only to finish pattern. Am thinking of double jointed wrists and feet. Anyway ... lovely!

Wow!!!! Thanks, you guys:D:D You are all so generous with your praise - it will help me get over my 'loss' as i pack Thorvald for his journey this week, hehe!
I have started on a panda version for myself so i shan't be lonely for long!
Hugs,
Chris
Chris, I love that you schedule in a bear for yourself. I've done too little of this and that needs to change. So much hard work -- and yes, of course I'm grateful for the income -- but I also wish I had more of my little furry friends to cuddle myself, or to give to my kids, or my mom, etc. Good for you!!!
Do be sure to post pics of that panda when you're done.

As you know, I saw this guy on your website Chris and thought he was stunning. One of your best so far in my books!
Good luck at Kensington on Sunday ... I'll think of you while I'm at home with my feet up! Will catch up at Hove instead.
