DSC02670.jpgDSC02667.jpgDSC02668.jpgThis was the first bear I've finished in years. He was a Christmas gift for my best friend, Travis, from college. He's a huge horror movie fan so I thought a zombie would be fitting. Personally, I'm a scaredy-cat and I don't like gore (it can trigger anxiety attacks in me).
The bear isn't that good, but it has the look I was going for. I neglected to take photos of him before I gave him to Trav, but he and my husband hung out together last night so Mat was able to borrow Zombie bear back so I could take some pictures...

Brrrrrrr..... I would not like him to visit me next night! Great zombie bear, Matthea... just the perfect scary look! But ask him to stay in his home. I am quite a scaredy-cat too...
How did you make his eyes and claws?

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Thanks  bear_laugh
The eyes are regular german glass with spackling compound.  I just globbed it on, let it dry, then sanded them down. It gave me the vacant I wanted because it is so matte.
The claws are just bits of ultra suede.
