Here is my first effort for the year. He is made out of an amazingly soft, tactile and great to work with synthetic. He stands around 5 inches but fits perfectly in your hand. I am a bit worried about the pile length but am re-creating him in a short pile synthetic as well as a mohair. The photo isn't great and the clour not true but I have been busting to get him 'out there' as he is one of my first creations that I am totally happy with. His eyes look really high on his face but he has a large snout and in real life that's not the impression you get. I got a digital SLR last year and really need to learn how to use it - this was just taken with a 'point and shoot'.
Heeeey I remember that first bear excitement I'm so glad to see you've posted!!! I've been waiting for piccies He is cute! I can't imagine him being so tiny, he looks like a big boy in the photo will love to see him in shorter pile too. Way to go in getting a SLR, have fun with it, you're definitely braver than me, SLR's have me baffled lol
I love him! He looks very cuddly. I've had an SLR camera for about 2 years now and still don't know how to use it properly!! I really have tried to learn and have read a lot about it, bought a better lens etc...but I still tend to shoot most things in auto mode
Clare, he is such a cuddly fellow...
.when I use my digital camera I have the setting on Portrait, the focus on micro and generally try to take the piccies first thing in the morning..most times I am happy with the result.
Mind you I take about 20 piccies of the little bear in all sorts of positions...
So very sweet and huggable bear you had made!
He has a wonderful fur!
