:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: "So many bears so little time...." This is precisely the reason I have 26 bears cut out in fur, over 100 and something patterns designed and yet I'm feeling slightly insane because I can't sew fast enough (i love my hand-sewing but sometimes I wish my hand would sew faster lol). Welcome to the club as Becky said!!

You will constantly be amazed by bears and making them Sheree bear_original Especially with what changing the fur does to a design.

A good example of what simply changing fur does here....... this is my "Latte" everyone loves, and little "Winston" in mohair. Latte is in faux fur, 50mm pile - Winston is in curly ratinee sparse mohair 15mm pile. I have slightly changed the shape of the head when I made Winston compared to Latte, but other then that the designs are the same!

Glad you're enjoying your bear making so much Sheree that's fantastic!!

Another gorgeous fox! I just saw a black fox here recently (as you know I have a very dear "friend" fox who visits me, well this is his friend I think - either that or enemy, or mate lol) and they really do have those lovely white accents if they are handsome foxes. Well done! I love him bear_original I wish he could come live with me  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub

I haven't had the time to start mine yet. I have 3 custom orders left for the year and then 4 more I need to make by Feb as well as a couple of new baby animals I'm just finishing off to list for sale next week lol ~ so I'm swamped! Sorry. I would love to make a bear like this but perhaps when/if things quieten down here? Usually happens about August for me. Right now I'm swamped!  bear_sad

Although I suppose that face should be a ":D" because it's good to be busy I suppose. I am grateful!

I have not completed this kind of bear but I would recommend plucking the mohair from the backing with tweezers before felting bear_original Tweezer are great for plucking mohair!

Hi I'm looking to find the artist of the below pictured beaver, even if it is not available any more I would like to know who made it and where I could find their website if they have one. I don't even remember where I found this photo sorry. I don't think it was this forum which I know is unhelpful lol.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Oh my goodness this recipe is dangerous........ and not to be selfish in the season of sharing but I won't be giving any to neighbors ~ partly because I don't have very nice neighbors and partly because even if I did have nice neighbors they wouldn't be getting any of these desserts   bear_tongue

Thanks for the recipe!
