Meet Pepi, a small baby bear with a big name (ever heard of Pepi I and Pepi II?).
I made myself his necklace with seed beads and cat eye beads : it took me a few hours, as I hand weaved it.
As his necklace looks like pharoah necklace, I decided to give him a pharoah name, hehehehehe.
It was not fun to work with this synthetic fur due to its black colour and long and dense pile.
For the pads, I used fancy material I got from a great Aussie friend of mine.
He has a multicoloured embroidered nose in shades of white, blue, pink, green... Sorry, but you cannot see it well because of the sun.
Pepi is 23 cm tall.
He will be for sale at my next teddy bear show in France on Easter Week-end.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Great bear Sophie - love the fur! :clap:
He looks really soft Sophie. Nice work.
Aaww, Sophie. Really, really cute.
He looks so soft and cuddly!
Lovely Sophie he looks so soft, what fur did you use?
He's really great Sophie. I can see you used the cotton bobbly fabric for his toes. It works really well.
Is a shame about the sun. I can see though that in the fur he is sensational. :dance:

that bear is awesome he is so staticoolhe reminds me of a cool bear animated movie i saw in the 80's but the tv reception was staticy and staticy sound and the colors changed a lot and had that cool color glow i just love it you are doing better than ever.
Hi!Sofie your Pepi is just so fluffy and beautiful Did you also bead his necklace? Its nice too :hug: :hug:
Thanks to all of you, girls... :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
You make me blush! :redface:
Patsy, the fur is a synthetic fur (is that what you call faux-fur?) with a quite long pile : black with white tips. I bought that fur in a local shop.
Mary, I made the beading work myself (oh dear, it needed such a huge lenght of thread!!!!) and it took me many hours. but i am thrilled with the result.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
