Ajo,11-1/2" tall, made of mohair, with a needle-felted muzzle, nose, and eye lids. Mohair rooted into felt, nose sealed and sanded. Leather paw-pads, and epoxy claws. He has really high quality pinch back glass doll eyes that are a beautiful shade of green. They were so difficult to work with because they were so deep. I had to cut the fabric and set them into his head.

Ajo is available from my website.

Thanks,
Joanne

He is so sweet!
I have to make a cat with a white nozzle too,and I am not sure how to do that!
So I am going to use mohair with a light bacground and then trim the mohair on the nozzle!
I wish you a good sale on ebay!

He is gorgeous, Joanne; he has a certain aristocratic dignity and yet he looks adorable at the same time. bear_wub

Oh he's wonderful. He kind of reminds me of some sheriff from an old fashioned cowboy film, but I can't put my finger on who!

It is wonderful to see a new Desertmountain Bear. His eyes are mesmerising...so realistic. I love everything about him including his stunning, smart collar.

He's lovely, Joanne. You did a remarkable job on the eyes - I have only used this technique 3 times and each time I was very afraid to cut in to the head to set the eyes! Your little Ajo's collar is adorable, too!
Hugs,
