Please meet Clara. Clara is 10 inches tall and holds an adorable little gingerbread boy which I needle felted myself. Clara is made out of black 1/2 inch ultra-sparse mohair with a white 1 inch alpaca inset on her face. I have meticulously needle felted/scissor sculpted her face and she sees through black German glass eyes. She is 5-way jointed with lock nuts and bolts and very firmly stuffed with polyfil and a pocket of steel shot in her belly which enables her to stand, although she prefers to sit. Her paw pads and feet are needle felted and shaded to give her that realistic bear look. I have designed her little dress using my own pattern.
