I've just uploaded a piccie of Barley into the challenge gallery. Here's another (I couldn't decide) :redface:
BJ is my homage to the Steiff Baerle 35 PAB. This was one of Richard Steiff's new designs, with a sharper, foxier clipped muzzle and a gutta percha nose--I used Fimo, and added a tail and a growler. According to Christie's, this was the first Steiff bear with disk joints.
My BJ is made of Intercal325S/CM in Old Tan. I intended to make him all sad and droopy looking, but he just wouldn't stop smiling! 
Past Time BearsWhat a great looking bear, Eileen! You did a superb job! I finally got mine finished today, too, so he's coming in next to Barley.
Eileen your bear is wonderful !! I finished mine today also. Actually, I finished the bear last night and took pictures of him plain for the challenge. Then, I had fun and added shading to age him a bit more. I need to take a picture of the finished result. Thanks for sharing your pictures. 
Baird'sBears Thanks, Sue Ann and Tammy! Can't wait to see your bears!
I stupidly posted this in the wrong place :doh: . . . or didn't post it in the right place, duh :doh: I might try again.
Tammy, I want to shade Barley a bit too . . . he looks a bit naked. I guess we're so used to seeing classic bears with half their stuffing gone and their fur all scruffy that pristine versions look a bit wrong!
AwwWWW BIG well done Eileen hes lovely
