Hi all!
I know it's been a while since I posted a bear.
Here's my Boot Camp Bear 
I am so happy with how this guy turned out. It was fun to take the class and if I'm honest, I really want to keep him. I found him a lovely vintage style box to sit on/live in.
I love this mohair! Sadly, it's a piece I bought second hand off eBay so I've no idea where it came from so sadly there won't be any more (I may be able to squeeze a small one out of what is left though)
He is going as a gift to my best friend for her Baby daughter, Alice who was born on Friday morning. I am off to meet the little lady and deliver the bear later. I hope she treasures him always. 
I'd love to see some more TT members boot camp bears.
YorkshireHe's brilliant Julia :clap: , what a lovely gift for a baby.
Yes its annoying when you find some mohair you love and can't get your hands on some more. Perhaps another TTer could suggest an alternative, why don't you put that question out in the general section and see what response you get?

Thanks Ali 
C.W. Huggley BearsGreat Bear, Jaina! I am sure you can find that mohair on one of the supplier sites. It appears to be a strait mohair and I would not think to hard to find. If I see any among my surfing, I will let you know.
Bear Hugs,
Cindy
He's lovely, Julia! I can see why you want to keep him, but you'll feel very good about giving it to a friend, too.
I really like the look of the smooth waxed nose with his sleek mohair.
To me, the mohair looks very much like Schulte's 1" straight style (called B75 at Edinburgh Imports). I hope you're able to find more in this very pretty color.

DENBY BEARS Great bear Julia, I too signed up for the boot camp, but with not having a computer at home and work being busy, I never did attend. I am sorry that I missed it.
But your bear is really nice and I am glad you had a good time there.
Hugs Pat 
The Littlest ThistleAww, he's lovely
Emo BearsThanks everyone 
He was very happily recieved I have to say.
Little Alice's parents were amazed and appreciated it loads - especially as for another friend they had bought her baby a Steiff bear but felt bad that they could only afford a little one. At least Alice will have a good sized Mohair bear to grow up with She was seriously cute I have to say and so tiny. She was 4 weeks early and spent most of the time asleep - I don't mind as I don't do well with tiny babies.
He is really really cute!
Boechout, AntwerpHi Julia,
Is the same "Boot Camp Bear" by Nancy Tillberg, that Becky also made?
If so, it's amazing how two identical patterns can turn into two such different years.
Yours is equally adorable and I agree that the mohair looks fabulous (I love the way it goes right over the paw and footpads).
If Alice doesn't care much for bears, he can always find a home with me ...
Hugs, :hug:
Peter & the bears
Emo BearsHi Peter, Yes it's the same pattern - it is crazy really. He looks like on of my bears, just as Becky's looks like one of hers.
I guess that's the magic of bear making!
Thanks for your kind comments xx
aRTy BearsGreat bear. And fab fab fab nose!

MelbourneHi everyone. I did the boot camp bear with Nancy too - great course, well worth doing for learning different ways of doing things then deciding which way works best for you. Here's a photo of how mine turned out.
Emo BearsAw, what a sweet lady like bear yours turned into!
MelbourneThanks Julia 
WassenaarI wish I would have looked earlier on this forum, I'd seen so many of the bootcamp bears on the ebearz site, but the pics are a lot larger here so I can see them all so much better. I find it so amusing that you can still recognize the artist in the bear even though everyone used the same pattern.
Julia your bear is lovely, and love the mohair pity you don't know where it originally came from.
Dinimm Your bear is so sweet, I love the hat and bow finishes her off quite nicely.
anyway here's how mine turned out
I don't think I have my own style yet, I'm thinking of giving her muzzle a trim.

Emo BearsAnnette, your bear is lovely. Love the sweet little smile :hug: Somehow my bears always look a little forlorn or sad (I do like a slightly sad looking bear myself though)

Hey^^
Here's a picture of the creation I made in the boot Camp, Tuffi. I already posted a thread for him, but as the others posted pictures here too, I hope you don't mind me posting a pic here also^^
Hugs, Ariane
Emo Bears He looks really huggable

I'm usually not too fond of the color pink, but I fell in love with this big guy
