Hi bear_original Here is my first felted face bear ( thanks to all the helpers here). I wasn't happy how the face turned and decided to throw him out. 2 days later, i thought that i had nothing to loose by trying felting. I had fun to change his face and now, i love him bear_grin My first granson Hugo was happy to be photographied with him Here are 2" Before" photos and 2" After" photos. What do you think?

Oh my goodness...your grandson looks sooooooo much like my oldest son, Kyle when he was that age...the dark curly hair, eye so dark they are almost black and that grin. I wish I had a scanner I'd post a picture...it's amazing.

He'll grow up to be quite handsome...my son is almost 22...

and...the bear is darling too...but the grandson is way cute!!!

Very clever and artistic change to your bear - though I think he kind of looked like a papa bear before - terrific :clap: :clap:

Very nice Irene. I am glad you decide not to throw out your bear. Needle felting is a fabulous way to really sculpt a new look on any bear.

Great job!

SUPER ADORABLE little BOY!!!!!!
