Kaibab is the first of three bears that will be going to the shop "A Bear Place" in Singapore.
He is 11-1/2" tall, made of alpaca. He is the first bear I have made with no neck joint but instead a lockline spine and neck. I really like the posing possibilities and I will use this more often now.

ps: can you tell I was one of the obsessed Hope and Lilly fans?!
Joanne, I recognized the influence of Hope and lily immediately! 
Kaibab is a beauty, and it's very cool that he's going to Singapore. :clap:

The Littlest ThistleAhh, so HE'S the one getting the new type of neck, he came out beautifully
Boechout, AntwerpHe is adorable, Joanne; such a lovely expression and wonderful detail.
At the risk of sounding very stupid 
, can you explain what a "lockline spine and neck" is (without getting too technical)?

Thank you Becky, Carol, Katy, and Peter ( and Harry, so glad he is keeping up on things.)
Peter here is a picture, it will explain better. The stuff is so strong and bendable, and it holds it's position well.

love the eyebrows and of course, as ever...your specialty, the perfectly waxed, felted nose.
desertmountainbearThank you Pat, as always you are too kind. This nose is waxed and then mod podged and painted. Can I make things any more complicated?
Joanne
