 Here is my latest big bear.  22 inches standing!  I have only recently started doing big bears but still like to do them totally by hand.  This was made using a combination of mohairs both the same colour (obviously) butthe body was made using a long, sparse, wavy mohair and the rest a shorter, denser, mohair.  This bear is for a friend who is having a baby girl later in April although I am very tempted to keep her!  Please, please post comments especially ones that tell me where to improve!
