Pumpkin & Pickle Bears Nov 11, 2006

I'm not sure if you've done this here on TT before (you probably have!) but I thought it'd be fun to see everyone's very first bear they made. If you don't have a picture of your first bear, maybe you could just show us all one of your early creations. Even better - show us an early creation and a new creation so we can see the difference! :dance:

I'd really love to see how everyone has progressed - I also think it would be wonderful for new bear makers to see that 'things can only get better'!!! 

Here is a picture of my very first bear on left called Peanut. He stands 4" and is VERY loosely thread jointed. I tried permanent fabric markers to shade around his eyes....little did I know at the time that it wouldn't blend after applied !! :crackup:

On the right is my latest creation called Hugo.

Edie asked us to share some of our early bears to see how much our work had changed. Here's the thread:

It's nice to repeat topics like this for folks who weren't around for the last or might have missed it.  Last time around I posted larger bears so this time I'll share the minis. 
My first mini was made from stuff I found at Joanne's. Poor little seed bead eyes and literally a screw and nut holding his head on (don't ask..I don't even know how I did it, I just wanted the head to turn :crackup:..I imagine I could unscrew his head if I tried :crackup:  )

This is Twinkle. I just finished him Thursday evening...he'll be on eBay tomorrow (hopefully)

:hug:
