Paula,
This is my first challenge. How much time do I have to complete the bear? I got the head template - thank you.

I can be a bit impatient too Wendy.Turn that critter around on your avatar so we can see his face-yes I know he is for bao.
Laurie :hug:
Hi Sumien, there's plenty of time, the deadline isn't until the end of November.
Looks like you have a great response to the challenge. Count me in too.
It sounds fun, if it´s not too late you can count me in
see you
Lena
Just for you Laurie
so everyone else, NO peaking!
Last night I had the head completely finished but then saw that part of the whites of one eye wasnt showing. It got caught up in the sinew when I took the remainderof the thread to lose. bugga bugga bugga. So I had to take it all apart again.
I noticed that I really do have a certain style in which I design. I found this new side head piece determines the shape of the overal design more than I thought. I couldnt use an existing pattern, I had to design completely from scratch. I designed the weirdest gusset to go with it. Well weird for me I shall pop that in the pic with the critter when its done. Should only take a couple of days.
I'm enjoying this.

Doggone it! Just found this thread. It woulda been so fun to play in this challenge, but it's probably a good thing I'm too late. I have orders backed up, so I would have had to cheat on my collectors if I'd participated. Have lots of fun with this, folks. I'll keep checking back to see the results. Gail, you are really quick on the draw. cute bear! Honeythorpe Bears (sorry, don't know your name), darling little pip of a thing! Can't wait to see what others come up with. Really fun. Thanks for your initiative in starting the challenge, Paula. :clap: :clap: :clap:
Edit: fixed a typo, added thumbsup
me! me count me in please.... this would be fun... but i dont understand what u meant by commercial design? can't wait to try it out!...
Sorry guys, applications for the pattern are now closed. Many thanks for your interest! I hope you enjoy the thread as it develops.
By the way, I have now opened a new thread for everyone's work and progress reports, so will be answering queries etc in there from now on.
Good luck everyone ! I will look forward to see everyone's work !!
yikes.. did i make the cut off? :pray: i write too late :doh:
Oooh, it's so quiet in here! How is everyone progressing? I'm bursting to hear! :dance:
I'm working on the head right now...
