RangerTedEBear.JPGI told you all a while back about the commission to make a Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Mascot Bear. I wanted you all to be the first to see the finished bear. He is 28" tall and has loc line armatures in his arms and legs. Would love to hear your opinions prior to sending him off.

Both Malko and I said Waouh! at first sight!
So it means we are both amazed by your super ranger bear!

His is so ranger looking and so gorgeous and just fantabulous!

Did you handsew his outfit?

If the rangers don't want him, we would be pelased that you send him to us!  bear_tongue  bear_whistle

Aw thanks so much! His shirt was a brand new boy scout shirt in the smallest size I could find. I then had to completely take it apart and size it to fit the bear. The Rangers sent me the patches, his hat badge, chest badge, and tie tack. I purchased the belt and the leather handcuff holders, and radio holder. I modified another handcuff holder and made it into a holster for his gun. I also made the flashlight holder and was able to find a small mace holder. I also modified the radio holder to fit a child's toy radio. It was a very fun project. They will use it for training and child programs. They also will have him on thier website so the other Rangers can order one custom made just for them.

Thank you Bronwen, Jeannie, Julia, and Kim. I am very honored to have been chosen to do this commission. I especially love it when commissioned to do something like this from someone who is NOT a bear collector. They are always so much in awe when they see the final product.
Julia- He wasn't walking last night but my dogs sure barked at him this ,morning when they came downstairs and saw him standing on the kitchen table. lol

bear_original Amazing, Sonja--he's so PERFECT

You've done an incredible job--everything's in scale, he looks wonderfully masculine  . . . bear_wub

If he does walk at night, I'll bet he could keep the dogs in line!

After another, look, I think it's the eye placement.  Wonderful bear_wub

I think this bear is absolutely OUSTANDING- the hours of work that have gone into him and the 'thinking outside the box' to get the things you needed are absolutely brilliant.

MANY MANY CONGRATULATIONS.  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

What's next.

WOW What a superb job you have done on this bear- he is most definitely a masculine looking bear as well The accessories are to die for and you were certainly ingenious in how you made them bear size. Lets hope you get  many more orders for a carbon copy

You guys are just GREAT! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU  for your kind words.  I just got an email from the Rangers and they LOVE him! They are so excited to get him now, They said they really didn't know what to expect and he is way over the top of anything they would have even thought of. They have his pedal car all ready for him. They wired it to have working headlites, siren and lightbar. He will be entered in a car show in Cleveland on the 13th of August and they are already cleaning off a spot in thier trophy case.

Julia.. I love how you spelled my name.. How do you pronounce it when it is said in Russian?

Hugs
Sonya
