1_2body.jpgHi all,
I have been struggling with this blasted bear for months bear_cry , yahoo I'm finally finished. :dance:   My mother has been after me like forever to make her another bear (lost count on how many of mine she has) I got her to chose some mohair when she came to visit me in the summer,  Little did I know she would pick green mohair UGGGG not a colour I would not have chosen in a zillion years. I found it hard to strum up some excitement when it came time to start this critter.  I told her she would have him by Christmas well xmas has come and gone and he just left for his new home this morning, I have never managed to get my parents gifts to them in time maybe next year.  I haven't made a thing in months this guy has really taken it's toll on me I hope the bear making spark returns soon cause I have a show to get ready for.
Anywho here he is in all his ugggly green loveliness. :crackup:stand.jpg

Well the color choice might not have been ideal but you sure did some bangup work on him!  He's got an absolutely PERFECT nose and the most wonderfully sweet face.  I rather like him, myself, and he'll be perfect to usher in St. Paddy's Day come March.  His little pigment-dipped paws are super cute!

Well, I think he is just wonderful.  Your eye color and shading color choices are just perfect for the green fur.  Your mom will surely love him to pieces.  My mom has a ton of my bears too.  I just gave her one before we left on our trip (we're in Nashville for 2 weeks) because whe was so sweet to dog-sit my two doggies.

I think he is wonderful and his lovely minty green colour suits him well....I have a bear made out of this very same mohair and colour and love the way she turned out, but it can be such a challenge when working with something that doesn't inspire you at all.....you have done very well to come up with such a lovely bear.

Ah you guys Im truly overwhelmed by all your lovely comments regarding this fella. I guess I need to take a look at him through the eyes of others, give the poor fella a chance.  All I can see is struggle and frustration and many tears and whining ( I don't want to doooo this bear, that's what my hubby had to listen to for months) I really don't do well with commissions especially commissions from family, they are the hardest to complete.  Lots of deep rooted issues at the bottom of this one maybe that was my struggle, shouldn't take it out on the bear cause he is kinda cute in all his greenness.
I hope I didn't offend all you green lovers out there, I'm not anti green by no means.  To tell you the truth green is one of my favorite colours and I have rooms in my house painted green just not this green.  I guess it wasn't the colour that stressed me but who I was making him for, I know my ma will love him and I'm glad I was able to put things aside and finish him up for her. 

Hey Gail- the show I'm getting ready for is the 2007 TBAI show in New York (and I just launched my web page Yahoo!!! finally so I'm trying to hord bears for that too.) I know it is not until Aug but for once in my life I'm not going to put things off until the last second, I'm planing ahead this time. :crackup: Will see how I pull it off.  I haven't done Marks show for a year now and I do miss them he puts on a great show but I can only do one show a year and this one in New York is fantabulis.

Anywho thanks guys for taking a peek and making me see this fella through different eyes.
Hugs Deborah

Yes, it is funny how we see our own work.
I love this guy, my favorite of yours that I've seen. I love the color and his face. It's too bad he wasn't for sale.

Your bear is lovely with such a sweet face cause it's not easy being green!
