bao-yingallery2.jpgbao-yingallery1.jpgbao-yingallery3.jpgHi Everyone!  I just had to share the commission I just finished.  Bao Yin (means Baby Silver in Chinese) is a 12 1/2" bear cub made from recycled silver mink fur.  He has needle felted details & glass doll eyes.  You can see more pics at...

Hi Mikki!  Thanks for the compliment and for taking the time to view Bao Yin!  Yes, I do custom cats as well... I haven't done a lot of them, but the ones I have done are on my website.

Oh, I love him, too. I wish I could do eyes like that. He has quite a spunky personality.

Thanks you all!  Bears like this are so fun to do... they come alive under ones hands!  Of course, that said, they are also hard to part with... I imagine we all feel that way about our "babies"!

I adore the face and expression! I'd never thought to use doll eyes on bears - gives a great dimension to their personality.

Thank you Kirstie!  It's fun to add the doll eyes - there are so many variations of them too!
