:redface: I have tried really hard to get good pictures.....But, even with all the help(thank you ladies) these are the best of the 100 or so shots.
Anywho, I am still pleased to show you Ryan. He is 20" and crocheted from four types of yarn. He has black glass eyes and a growler in his belly. I used black ultra-suede for his eyelids, ear liners and paw pads. He and his paw pads are stuffed with poly-fil.
He has a cute little bear tail on his bottom. To my surprise, he is somewhat poseable due to the thickness of the yarns! I just love him, and since no one can see him really good, I may just keep him! bear_wub

I couldn't believe he was crocheted, that's amazing - he does look so soft and cuddly. Perhaps you should keep him - he's gorgeous.

Kimberly,
:crackup: You got me....I have never kept one of my bears and you know I'd put him in the mail tomorrow! But, I think your pink bear needs a blue boyfriend.
:photo: I have been strategically moving Ryan away from your professional black bear photos! :crackup: :crackup:
Bear hugs,

I wish I was as talented to be able to crochet a bear. Lovely cute face he has. Maybe if you moved him close to the window next time you need to photograph a bear. especially a black one. It may help. bear_thumb

Jeannie,

LOL, you crack me up! By the way, I am NO professional Photographer... I have been trying in vain since my VERY FIRST bear to get good close ups of the face/head, and it has all been in vain thus far. bear_cry bear_tongue

Thank you for the suggestion, Wendy. I tried at the window with Ryan, but I think the sun was still too bright...he turned out like a black blob! I will try again when it is not so bright!
