I recently decided to do a bear makeover on a few of my unadopted bears. These are bears that were going unloved due to my lack of experience when I started bearmaking. This bear had big Mickey Mouse ears at the top of his head. He had a cross expression. He wasn't exactly a bad bear but he just wasn't loveable.
I decided to give him a makeover, I took off his head, made his ears smaller, reset his eyes & gave him a new nose & mouth. He was is stuffed with excellior so he was a little light I gave him some weight so he was really hugable. He still has a needlepunched heart but now wears a key & a tag tht reads "KEY TO MY HEART".
He is available on my blog.
Much nicer with the new face. He turned out to be really a hansom guy!

Great makeover! I've been thinking of doing the same thing to some of my earlier bears.
What a great idea, and what a great result!
I really admire all of the imaginative creations on your website, too.
