Tibbar-03.JPGTibbar-03.JPGTibbar-02.JPGMade from a rabbit pelt, this is the second bear I have made using a real fur.  It was totally diffrent from the Lambs pelt I used to make Woolley and it sheds like you wouldn't believe

Tibbar is wonderful.  I love the fur.  I used a black rabbit fur for a panda and the pelt was so thin it just kept ripping so I vowed never to use rabbit again.  I might have just changed my mind bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin

Thank you Jane, Sue Ann and Jenny. Jenny I found it alot easier than I thought it was going to be, expect it sheds like anything and you get fur all over you, so don't do it when your preparing dinner. bear_laugh  bear_laugh  bear_laugh  As you can imagine I was covered and being hot here made it a lot worse it was sticking to me.... I recommend you wear very old cloths or a plastic bag like Nance Tilburg suggests, but  again being hot that was not an option for me.

That is the softest-looking bear I've ever seen.  I just want to dive right into that fur.  Really nice work!

Cute Patsy!!

I love rabbit fur and this bear is so lovely and soft looking.  When I was little and you could still buy rabbit fur coats in the ladies' stores, my mum would often lose me when we went shopping.  She eventually learnt to find the fur coat racks and hunt along them - I'd be hiding right in the middle sucking my thumb and  stroking all the soft bunny coats!!

bear_original  What a sweet, snuggly bear! She 's beautiful.

Is she hand-shaded, or are those the colors of the pelt?

I love rabbit . . . the cut ends shed like mad, but I haven't had any problem with shedding once they're enclosed.

Matilda I looked like a furry being by the time I had finished the cutting out and sewing up ..... you can imagine with the heat here what I was like and yes itchy nose wanting to scratch ... I love the feel of it so I guess I will be using it again.
