I'm still busy getting my Hugglets show bears ready (feeling the strain now!) and have just completed 22" Claude, a harlequin bear. I made him from beautiful Schulte mohair in a straight pile, it's so dense and silky! The black and white parts were made from oddments my sister gave me when she resigned her career as a bear maker, so it was good to put them to use. I found some handsome 1930's art deco buttons for Claude's body detailing ... I'm definitely developing a bit of a 'thing' for interesting buttons lately!
a very very handsome chap - you are doing amazingly well getting so many of these bears done for the show, you must be exhausted! Well worth the effort though :hug:

Paula, wow he is fantastic, I must make sure I get to you before the show opens to see them all as I think these bears will soon sell and I would miss out seeing them.
hugs Jane.
Hi Paula,
Claude is a beautiful bear! I like his face very much! And the mohair looks so soft! I like the colours, too! I´m sure he will find a new home soon at hugglets
Lovely Paula as usual

He's beautiful, Paula ! ! ! His eyes are WOW.
Many thanks everyone .. I'm very pleased you like this bear. I think I'm about ready to make something a little smaller now, these big 'uns have fair worn me out!
Good luck with your final detailing Ellen, see you there!
He is gorgeous Paula, he has a captivating face and so cuddly looking. I know what you mean about big bears, I have had one cut out for 3 months and not sewn up, I just keep cutting out smaller ones out, must get around to finishing him/her. Have a good day at Hugglets.

He is stunning Paula - he looks a bear who really means business. I love the name Claude - it was my Grandpa's name.
