Dear friends,

I thought you might enjoy seing my competitor bear for the TBOC 2008. This is my first time participating to an international challenge.
Feeling a little bit nervous about it.

That's strange, because i just cannot manage to love that bear even if every person to whom i showed him just loved him.
I guess this is because my scissor sculpting on the muzzle did not went the way I wanted.

I hope to find him a loving home...
But if he happens to win an award (we never know, after all!!!), I may keep him some time before I let him go.

He is 39 cm tall.
I used Hembold air force blue mohair and some Schulte creamy white mohairs. I needle felted his paw pads.
I hand made his outfit including the weaven flag, necklace and macrame belt.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Sophie, he's adorable. He makes me smile. You're probably just nervous about the competition and that's why you haven't bonded with him yet. I bet you'll come to love him after spending some time with him.

Good luck on the competition. Whether you win or not, be proud of entering. That's something I've never done.

Take heart, not all mothers bond with their kiddies straight away. I am sure if a truck came and nearly ran him over you would realise just how much you loved him :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: ( :crackup: not the truck running over bit bear_cry )
