Here's JIM! After over 3 years of bears, he's my first bear made out of mohair.

I'm putting him here in the showcase, 'cuz I couldn't wait any longer to show him off. bear_grin

He's 10" tall and DOES stand on his own. Yea. He's got a little bit of a scruffy look, but once he gets his new clothes and accessories, he'll look perfect. I have ordered a custom made accessory from a friend that will take a week or so to make.

I've always wanted to dress a bear the way he'll end up and I'm soooo excited about it. But I'm not gonna tell ya'll until he's finished. bear_tongue

His little vest came out just a tad small, even though I measured and measured and measured. So, he'll get a new one in a few days.

Hope ya'll like him!!

LOVED working with the mohair. I actually bought 1/2 yard, so... I have enough for 2 more this size or some smaller ones... or 1 more this size and a couple of smaller ones...

but I definitely need to buy some more soon!!
