You did a wonderful job on your first bear. Far better than I did on my first one!

The fur pattern is great! He does look a bit 'put out' though lol...fiesty :-)
/miniteddyhugs,
Thank you all for the comments. I've shipped him out and sent the customer these pictures. He wrote me back saying he loves him and can't wait for him to arrive.

I have a special spot in my heart for bunnies and this one took part of that...wonderful!

A customer wanted a little bear like my Quinn ( the Harlequin bear I did for the Thread Artist Guild Masquerade challenge) but he wanted it sewn instead of crocheted....so....
Thus was born Chester the Jester (my daughter named him!).
He's a traditionally sewn bear, 3.75 inches tall standing and 2.75 inches sitting. He's made of black and white cashmere synthetic fur, with tan for his head. His body has the traditional diamond pattern design harlequins wear. He also has a jester hat, mask and septre.
This is what Chester looks like underneath his mask:
I am very pleased with how he turned out and think my customer will be very happy with him.

My advice is dont' get discouraged. Many new bear makers see all the wonderful creations made by other bear artists and want theirs to look just as good...well when you are starting out that's just doesn't usually happen....it's a learning process, so don't expect those first few bears to come out looking like you've been doing this for years.
Also instead of fretting about the overall look of your first creations...pick one thing in particular that you'd like to improve and just work on getting that better....for example the nose or setting of the ears, etc.. Keep improving on just the one thing til you get it the way you want...then move to another area you'd like to improve, etc. You will see your improvements and be encouraged by the success which helps you to keep going :-) (Btw, this is a ever ending process)
And last, but not least...ask questions....Many wonderful bear artists will help you along the learning path if you just ask questions. As I was taught by my father at a very young age....a question not asked is a question never answered.

Love the ears on this one :-) I have a tender spot for bunnies :-)

Gee you sure have been busy! Very nice creations....I love the horse and the dragon but several of the others are really nice too.
