Anyway here it is...

These bears and digital challenges are great! I love the avitars. I finally got my green bear done (He's that wonderful sage alpaca from intercal which has only the slightest green cast.) His name is Liam and he'll be one of my Bid4Bears bears come April. I am trying to do the digital challenge with his photo, but it's, well, very challenging! I took a two day photoshop class where my hubby works in the beginning of January, but since I started back to school, I haven't had any time to practice and I seem to have forgotten everything! bear_wacko

The challenge bears all look so sweet!! 

I had lots of fun making this guy!  I've never done a multi toned bear before.  The darker green and stone colored mohair were original colors, the lighter green I dyed. 
I'm lisitng him on ebay tomorrow...hopefully! I haven't done a listing in a while...here's hoping it goes smoothly!! bear_wacko  bear_grin

I'm not set on his name yet... (???)

Hi Tami, thanks!  I did dye the lighter "kelly" green from the stone colored mohair.  The darker green was the green offered by intercal for the challenge.  I just started to dye mohair and it's tons of fun!  I'm buying more basic colors now, just so I can dye it bear_grin

Hey girls, you all have done such a fantabulous work!!!!

Hummm, i thought I would point my nose here and show you a couple of bears who could be considered as related to that topic...

Well, hummm, I already posted Kiwi in the show and tell, be he is srt of greenish, so hey, why not???
anf flynn has definately the look of it! Only his waistcoat is green, but there is that something in him that made me name him Flynn...

So here they are:

Wow!  These bears and avatars look great!  I know next to nothing about Photoshop, but would love to learn.  Does anyone know of an online program on Photoshop they would recommend?  I have Photoshop 7 on my computer...............
