Beezer-001.jpgThis is Beezer. 



He's my 5th bear and my 4th from real fur.  He's from a long-haired beaver coat and a pattern from Linda Mullins' Heirloom Bears book (Mitchom).  He has paw pads from a pigskin jacket I bought at the Salvation Army store for $5.00, which are far easier to work with than the rather thick leather I used for my other fur bears.  He's got excelsior in his nose and a mixture of fiberfill and glass beads in his body and limbs. AND he has a growler, even though it's not "of the period".  The undercoat is so thick that scissoring his face seems to be a work of excavation!  I'm not sure when I'll actually declare it complete.  How do y'all decide when you're finished??????

Hugs to all who welcomed me so warmly!

That's a wonderful face! I really like his furry "cheeks."
