 This bear was created in answer to Chloe's 'Lost in the mists of time' challenge.  I opted to take inspiration from my 1960'schildhood favourite 'Sooty', a little mohair glove puppet I have to this day.  I have chosen not to recreate the original Sooty, but instead make my own tribute bear 'Izzy Wizzy', named after Sooty's famous catchphrase 'Izzy Wizzy, let's get busy!'

He's wonderful, Paula! I saw him at the online show. Unmistakably Sooty and Unmistakably All Bear at the same time! I bet he sold quickly.
 Thank you Paula for providing the first entry to my challenge
