Finally a bear! This is Rhett my entry in the TBACA Spring Challenge. He is 14 inches, 9 way jointed so he can sit all cuddled on his tush like a real bear or with straight legs like a trad. bear. His face is needlefelted to a tight finish then shaded to bring out his character. Paws are leather and my first go at pulled paws! He is weighted with steel shot so he feels like a real bear.
Love to know what you think... lots more pics on my site

Linda, he is very very cute! Congrats on makin a bear (not a cheeky little chimp)
I think he should be staying as part of your collection! He is very realistic in the face and I LOVE his colour!!
