SpencerFacej.jpgI've been working my way to this design for a while now. I can see the slow evolution in some of the newer designs I've done leading up to this guy. He's been in my head for a long time and I'm now 95% happy with how he turned out. Just one or two more little tweaks of the pattern and he'll be perfect.

Spencer is 10" tall and made with one of my favorite mohair colors... apricot with a brown back.
He'll be available for adoption at the New England Teddy Bear Gathering on April 18th.

He's beautiful...I've been afraid to try the apricot because I thought it might be too orange but yours is perfect.  May I ask where you bought it?

Lenora,
That mohair is made by Schulte. I call it apricot but it's actually "maple". I got it a few years ago from Edinburgh. They don't currently have it but I just found it on Gerry's website. They are in Australia. I've never ordered from them but I know many here in the US who have. Shipping might be costly. Anyway, here's the link: http://www.gerrys.com.au/product.php?pr … 234&page=2 Lots of other great fabrics on there that we can get in the US too!

Intercal might have something similar made by Helmbold. You could check their website too.

I really like those rich brown paw pads and the way the arms angle (?) inward toward each other.

He's a cutie!

Oh I really like him. You can still tell he's one of yours too. I like that tight little scissor work on the face with the eyes close together. And gorgeous fabric.

Thank you for the compliments, every one. I'm so glad you like him. I'm working on another one today!

Lenora, after finding the link to Gerry's for you I ended up placing an order.... a big one. LOL! I need mohair like I need a hole in the head!  :doh:  But some of the colors looked so yummy, I couldn't help myself!

He's lovely  bear_original  bear_wub .  I really like his big head and the little face - looks very cute and gives him a childlike look. bear_original  bear_original   I can't see where he would need tweaking....?

Love him Daphne.  I love how you have trimmed his face and the shape of his head.  A wonderful bear
