I am really pleased that the two bears I entered into the BBAA competition have been shortlisted.  One bear is a very large polar bear with a goofy smile ; the other is a smaller, more traditional long armed ted.  The polar bear is a completely new departure for me and took a considerable amount of time to design.  I wanted a fairly realistic shape, but with a happy, goofy face. He has a wire armature, double neck joint and open mouth.   I made his nose from Fimo.  The smaller ted is more typical of my older style bears.  He is one of a collection of bears whose pattern I have been tweaking for the past eighteen months.

I have been making bears for under two years so am delighted to have reached this far in the competition.

Regards

Thank you all so much for your kind comments.  Teddy making is a solitary enterprise, so knowing there is a wonderful, supportive group of people out there that share your passion is the greatest!!!
