Perrido is gorgeous, I just love the red nose.

Thank you Wendy, Paula and Lisa for your comments. I love clown bears they are so much fun to make.
The nose was an experiment and I have a wonderful collector of mine to thank for it...she sent me a lovely parcel of threads that aren't available in Australia and I just had to use them...they are beautiful!

Hi there,
     I'm almost too late but I wanted to give Fergal his minute of fame - he found a home with one of our Teddy Talk members and it's the first time that's happened, and he's so proud he could bust.  I just posted him in the gallery too.

                                                     hugs,

                                                     Brenda

Hi Guys,
After seeing all of the amazing work everyone has done in this challenge, I couldn't help myself- I just had to have a go and here is my effort:

Little Bingo is a needle felted fella that stands proud at just 1 3/4 inches. It's been fun trying something new, he is only my third attempt at needle felting, but its definitely a technique that I enjoy and will keep learning about.

Cheers Mel

Phew!! Am I in time before the end??  I love all the clown bears you are all so talented. 

Here is my clown at last she is called Smartie and is only 5.5 inches but chubby, been knitting fast as I could to finish her outfit before the end of the challenge, hope you all like her.  She is my first clown bear ever.  Really enjoyed it and might make more now.

Warm wishes
Pauline

Some more lovely clowns!!!  I'm so pleased you made the deadline ladies!!  These wonderful bears will enhance our clown gallery and provide inspiration for future creativity I'm sure. 

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has made time to get involved in this challenge.  You've all proved that individuality is only an imagination away.  This common theme has united our work and provided proof that with a sprinkling of inspiration we can all create unique teddy bears full of warmth, fun and the ability to make people smile ... the qualities making teddy bears should hold fast too. 

This challenge has been an absolute pleasure ... THANK YOU!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
