I'm still going retro with my tradional teddy pattern, playing with different furs and fabrics in my stash. . .this is Burliegh, carefully cut from a vintage faux fur coat that was shaded/printed to look like fur pelts

Burliegh is 18" with leather paw pads and nose. he is a traditional 5-way jointed teddy and is filled with a combination of plastic & silicone pellets and woodwool, for a squishy, huggable heft

He is just gorgeous, Kelly. bear_wub

I love his laid back posture and his innocent, suprised expression (who me?).
And the combination of colours is great as well.

A wonderful hunk of a bear! :clap:

Hugs, :hug:

He is wonderful! I love the effect you got from using the fur coat. bear_wub :pray: :pray: Very inspiring... makes me feel like making at least one traditional teddy bear - it's seems like ages since I've done that.

He's a gorgeous bear, love all the realistic/traditional bears ~ they're very special. He's kind of between really realistic and really traditional, and of course very handsome! The look on his face reminds me of my German Shepherd, Caleb, a bit of a big dopey but very intelligent lump lol. In the nicest way! I call my Caleb a lump and a wombat all the time with the upmost love ROFL bear_laugh
