It dawned on me that I never posted picures in the showcase of my little mink bear that I finished last month. I am currently woking on a solid color blonde mink bear that will be entered along with this one and the needle felted Mr. Bunny in to a show/contest here in Johannesburg in about 6 weeks. This is my second bear and my first one in real fur. He is muslin lined and hand stiched from two different colors of vintage mink collars taken from old coats. He is roughly 6.5 inches (15cm) tall while standing. He has extensive scissor sculpting on his face, hands and feet. He has black German glass eyes and is fully jointed. His toes, nose and paw pads are hand sculpted from heat set (Filanni) clay and hand painted.

Thanks,
Anthony
