Birgitta's bears

nalle-roed-053.jpgnalle-roed-043.jpgnalle-roed-035.jpgHi everyone!
I just wanna show you my Christmas bear I had made! Eva is made by German schulte mohair colored by Kool-aid and embroidered nose and painted german glass eye with acrylic and nailpolish. Eva is almost 14 high ( 35 cm). I am so bad with embroidering but this nose I am actually satisfied with!  :redface:
P.S. the photos is taken by my mobilephone! Hopefully Santa will bring me a better camera bear_happy D.S.

Cute, so perfect for Christmas and that nose looks great. I have never used Kool-aid but I can see it works realy well...do you need to fix the dye?

Hugs, Jane.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

Thank you both for the kind comments!

Kool-aid is fixed by itself. It´s only the mohair that gets colored by Kool-Aid not the fabric the mohair is sitting in.
I read somewhere that someone had colored her bear with kool-aid severel years ago and the bear had been placed in a sunlightwindow and the bear hadn´t bleched at all!
I am wondering how the kids in the states are looking inside, drinking this kind of mix???
