Little Leaf Bears by Shanna
I bought some antique blue kid mohair from Alison at eteddy's and just LOVED it. Here is the bear that resulted. He is my first experience with eyelids (not sure what I think) and ultrasuede eye whites (thanks Joanne!). He has a growler and stands about 12". I gave him trapunto toes in a gray ultrasuede and I was mostly pleased with the results (I think the thread showed up more on the ultrasuede, maybe it was the type of thread I used as it didn't seem to hold the shading dye as well). Since this photo of was taken I've shaded his muzzle a tad more and tidied him up with a bit of a trim to the cheeks, but is essentially the same. Thanks for letting me share him with you.

He's a cutie, Shanna! I'm sure with your further trimming, his mouth is a little more visible. Is that a little tail I see? He must be so lovely to hold. :love:
Oh, and his paw pads look great!

I'm having so much fun with the bigger bears. So far I enjoy them more as I feel you can fit a little more detail in.
Thanks again everyone!
