Patrick is a 16" bear cub in cream alpaca with medium brown tip.  He has six joints, including a double-neck joint that allows for a variety of posing positions.  His paws are a cream ultrasuede that have been needle sculpted and shaded.  He is softly stuffed with polyfil and plastic beads to ensure he is a good weight and excellent cuddle. 

He has quality black glass eyes with white felt eye whites peeping out from behind them.  His nose has been hand-moulded using black epoxy clay.  He is a bent leg design, so cannot stand unsupported.

There is more information on my blog.

He is a beauty.  I just love his proportions.

Thanks, Joanne.  I have, as usual, been tweaking the design.  I have added additional shaping to his arms and the angle of his feet.  I only wish I could take decent photos of him.  They really don't do him justice.

What a cutie he is, Sue!  He must be lovely to hold.

Many thanks, Deborah.  I like my bears chubby, cuddly and heavy (just like my husband!)

Hi Sue~~LOVE that last comment  :crackup:
And this bear is absolutely awesome.  I haven't worked with alpaca in so long (mostly real fur these days) but I just love what you have done.  He has a great face and wonderful colors.   

Best Regards

He is soooo adorable, Sue, I love your chubby bears (even my little Tabasco is chubby for such a small teddy  ), they have very expressive faces and
you can put them in all kinds of endearing poses (like in the second photograph : what is he asking for a?  A hug or a cookie ?  ).

At the risk of sounding like a broken record : excellent work !  :clap:

Hugs,  :hug:
