Posts: 3,540It was a little hard to get him photod as the camera kept using too strong a flash. I adore the center seam technique and the character you can create with it!!!! The mohair certainly had a strong mind of its own as to where it wanted to go, despite wetting, taping, combing, but I don't care. I wanted a more traditional look, but it still has the same contemporary style that I usually have with my bears.
Back Road BearsHe came out great! Love the mohair! Really shows off his seam!!! Wonderful job, Debbie!
Very nice, and such a warm fuzzy color and look! Really appealing; that hard work paid off!

He's adorable - very, very sweet. It was certainly worth all the hassle with his "hair". You must be so pleased!
Posts: 3,540I'm so pleased with the way he's turned out!!! I just love his expression, and he's such a little character. In fact, he's just got that perfect feel/weight when I hold him...and such an adorable expression...I might not be able to let this one go! 
Vicky Thank you SOOOO much for telling me how to do the center seam!!! :hug:
Matilda Huggington-beareI wanted a more traditional look, but it still has the same contemporary style that I usually have with my bears.
I love this little bear. When first looking at him I wondered why you wanted to do a centre seam. He has turned out really well. Wonderful mohair. The reason he turned out contemporary is the contemporary choice of mohair. But I gather you already know that. The centre seam also looks good on a sparse fabric as well.
He's a real cuty ,how big is he? Matilda
Posts: 3,540He's just under 9 inches from top of ears to stretched out tootsies. I realized the fur isn't the 'traditional' and I'm sure the different mohair (as you say, the sparse especially) will effect and bring out the center seam feature even moreso. However, I just wanted to give it a go to see how the shape of the head would differ. I usually make real fur bears, so the next attempt at center seam will be in real fur. Heavens knows how that will turn out, but I want to at least try 
Winneybears and FriendsHe turned out just great..and the center seam adds to is character...cutie !!1 ....Winney
