Tatty Bears

Hi All,
        I am just starting my second Teddy. I am using the same pattern as my first Teddy, Gaby but were she had very long fur this next one is going to have very short sparse slightly curly hair, and to my amazement I have just realized the long and the shorter furs are exactly the same colour ( I am thinking of new ideas to mix them up )
Anyways back to the subject, I am experimenting with the face at the moment and I am just amazed ( there's that word again ) by the difference the size of the eyes and nose, the positioning of the eyes and the position of the ears makes to the expression and character of the bear, I am having soooo much fun, my only thought know is...... So many Bears so little time. Lol

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: "So many bears so little time...." This is precisely the reason I have 26 bears cut out in fur, over 100 and something patterns designed and yet I'm feeling slightly insane because I can't sew fast enough (i love my hand-sewing but sometimes I wish my hand would sew faster lol). Welcome to the club as Becky said!!

You will constantly be amazed by bears and making them Sheree bear_original Especially with what changing the fur does to a design.

A good example of what simply changing fur does here....... this is my "Latte" everyone loves, and little "Winston" in mohair. Latte is in faux fur, 50mm pile - Winston is in curly ratinee sparse mohair 15mm pile. I have slightly changed the shape of the head when I made Winston compared to Latte, but other then that the designs are the same!

Glad you're enjoying your bear making so much Sheree that's fantastic!!
