I made another mouse and it's better than first one.. I think.. 
She was a commissioned one so I hope new mom will love her to bits. 

Here she is. 5.6" tall...

Kim, Mary and Jodi thanks!!!
Your bears are always inspiring me to make more and better bears :rose:

And you  know, comparing with my fat tummy bears this mini is so quickly to sew! :D
I really enjoy making them..

thank you so much for your comments!
Hugs, Julia :hug:

Thank you, Claudia!! :hug:

Hugs, Julia

Catherine, Bronwen and Mandie thank you!

This little bear was a comissioned one so he already has a new home. I'm very happy for him. I really enjoyed making him. It' was the first time I felt sorry that I run out of tiny glass eyes and super small cotter pins nad hardboards. )))) I have to order more now! I want to make more !!

Hugs, Julia :hug:

Hi everyone.
I think I found my mini bear size. I feel very comfortable with sewing, turning and stuffing this 4". 

It's my 4th mini bear. And previous were smaller and took me forever to finish them.
But this little guy was made very quickly and with pleasure.

Hope you like him. I even crocheted him a little cotton jacket with vintage Russian button.

Jane!!!!!! THANK YOU! I feel I've attanded the show myself!!!
beautiful bears, pictures !! Congratulations everyone!

Hugs, Julia  :hug:

Hi Kelly!

I agree with your every word. I too think that the bear should be health safe and clean no matter would child play with him or not. There so many safe ways to make fabric look worn and aged.

I have never done a real old-looking bear, antique-styled, replicas.. my opinion is you have to see real old bears... you just can't master it from the pictures and photos which has marked spots "where-to-distress".
I make bears that is look like old but I don't pretend they are antique and aged..

It was the same reason for me when I started making bears I bought some very good artist bears to see them in reallity.. what are they look like..
