thank you very much.....im rather smitten with him alltho im not compleatly happy with how untidy his ears look...their made of clay with material glued on the back...i love the look of them but i think i might have to experiment some more to hide that uneven edge....hmmm...does anyone have any ideas?

any imput would be much appreciated :hug:

he's really cute, not too sure how you could do the ears differently, the only thing would be to fold the fabric part of the ears over and glue the underside of the fabric to the clay part?  Is that as clear as mud!!

catherine, i had thought to do it that way but my fat fingers wouldnt cooperate with such little bits of fabric bear_tongue  bear_grin

i had an idea to use air dry clay instead of oven clay...then i could smosh the clay over the edge of the fabric....hide it that way....dunno guess i will just have to experiment.

thanks....the clay ears are just somthing im experementing with at the moment as i think there could be a lot more shaping possabilitys than just fabric, especially with the minature bears....and with the teeny bears i can have curved ears because the bulk of the two peices of fabric makes that really hard (well fo me anyhow bear_grin other people might manage just fine) its really just somthing im trying out....
