Pixie is 14" and made from a light-tan colored wavy silk-mohair blend (with a pink mohair contrasting muzzle). I made her for a dear friend who has had a tough year. Pixie's cardigan was made by the talented Marion Hankinson, whose knitting abilities far exceed my own.

I hope you like her!

She would certainly make me feel better! especially if it was made by a dear friend - that's double the love  :cry:
What a thoughtful thing to do Becky

She is wonderful, Becky!   What a darling bear she is.  I also love the subtle contrasting colors.  bear_wub  bear_wub
I am sure your friend will love her, but if she doesn't, you know where she can find another loving home.  bear_whistle

Yes, but plan B comes before plan C!!  :lol:
(and plan B is foolproof!  bear_laugh )

I heard from Pixie's new mom today, and we don't need a Plan B or a Plan C. She loves her! (Thank you for loving her as well.) bear_flower

Wonderful bear with such a sweet,gentle expression and in beautiful delicate hues, just a perfect gift to comfort your friend.
I always wanted to try my hand at an inset face and I love the way you shaped the contrast around the eyes/nose muzzle area. Your beautiful bear has inspired me to give it a go  bear_thumb .

I'm so happy to hear that! One thing I did was to make sure the pink fabric went high enough on the muzzle to include a bit of the eye area. I thought the eyes would stand out more that way (than if the contrasting fabric ended below the eye area). I'm glad you like the result. bear_original

Feel soft and i like the texture. She's feminine in her well fitted cardigan.
