Well here it is my first new design Lombard Bear with no needle felting!!
Meet 'Ferdie', a 13 inch, 9 way jointed swarvo chap straight out of the 20's, ready to head off for a hit of tennis then a martini at the bar with the lads!!
He is made from the most gorgeous mottled plum tipped dark brown hand dyed mohair with deep plum coloured suede pulled paws and beautiful amber glass eyes.
Yes he has a stitched nose!!!! I shaded the nose to match the tones in his fur and gave it a light wax!
Love to know what you think guys!
Cheers Linda
PS. More pics on my Blog!
desertmountainbearWhat a character. Great face, wonderful color. I still know he was yours even without the felting. Love him.

Oh love his fur...beautiful...
He absolutely does have your signature "look," Linda, and he's absolutely gorgeous! :clap: :clap: :clap:
The color scheme is so rich and integrated, and the nose is perfect! (Are those felted eyebrows I see up there?)
Becky
Thanks!
Hi Becky...I really resisted and he has suede and mohair eyebrows!
Hugs Linda
baerenkinderHi Linda - his fur is great, and so a wonderful color - very nice 
Nikkel BearsHey Linda - I really love this bear! Fantastic work on the nose. Joanne's right - kind you can tell he's a Lombard bear! Kinda reminds me of Rod Stewart in a funny kind of way .... maybe it's his tousled fur & his debonaire look!!!
Hugs
