I have never times myself, but it can take days depending on how much work in in the bear.

I work really slowly and the head takes the longest unless I'm working an elaborate costume, which is somewhat rare.  I'm working on a bear that I've put 3-5 hours per day, every day, into, for the last two weeks.  That includes pattern drafting, cutting out, sewing, shopping for fabrics and embellishments, etc.  It's killing me, but in a good way.  I find working slowly produces better results!

HHHMMM good question.  I usually have several bears/animals going at any given moment but it ususally takes  two to three days.....depending on how elaborate the details.  Needle felting a muzzle/face can take a whole day for me...then there's the claws, the eye area sculpting, the airbrushing....and all the cleanup bear_shocked

I don't care how long I spend on a bear...as long as I get the results I want.
