I haven't been making bears for a couple of months, and had to get this order done before Christmas. I am really pleased with how he turned out. My customer wanted him "plain", with black eyes, and no eye whites, and no air brushing - but I just had to wax his little brown nose. He is 12" tall, and comes with his little "buddy" - a purchased mini from Michael's.

BEAUTIFUL, Jane! I adore him in all his sweet, little boyish glory.
I hope what's been keeping you from bearmaking has been something fun about which you're passionate. Like lampworking, maybe... ?
I think it take real skill to create a perfect 'no frills' bear and you definitely have that skill nailed! He's a beautiful soulful bear and I'm so pleased you are sharing your work with us again!
Waggle BearsHe's a beautiful little boy. I love all you bears.
Jane Perala Designs Ltd.Thanks everyone - you make me feel quite embarrased. My friend came and picked him up today, and was really pleased with him. I still have a little bit of that fur left, so I hope it is enough to make another, as I was quite pleased with how he turned out. Knowing me though, I will just have to "muck" around with him and do some airbrushing - I'll try to control myself.
Yes, Shelli, I have been lampworking. I had a table at a craft fair a couple of weeks ago, and was madly getting ready for that. I could have saved myself the trouble though - there were very few customers come in the door! It was the worst attended craft fair I have been to in my 30+ years of doing various types of fairs. Anyway - back to the bears for now. I find it very hard to do both bears and lampworking at the same time. They are both so intense that I need to concentrate on only one at a time. So it may be a case of a month of bears and a month of beads.
