small-black-bear-bb05.jpgsmall-blacbbbbb02.jpgsmall-bear-cub-black03.jpg:redface: I have tried really hard to get good pictures.....But, even with all the help(thank you ladies) these are the best of the 100 or so shots.
Anywho, I am still pleased to show you Ryan. He is 20" and crocheted from four types of yarn. He has black glass eyes and a growler in his belly. I used black ultra-suede for his eyelids, ear liners and paw pads. He and his paw pads are stuffed with poly-fil.
He has a cute little bear tail on his bottom. To my surprise, he is somewhat poseable due to the thickness of the yarns! I just love him, and since no one can see him really good, I may just keep him! bear_wub

I couldn't believe he was crocheted, that's amazing - he does look so soft and cuddly.  Perhaps you should keep him - he's gorgeous.

Thank you ladies for your wonderful comments! This was my first bear crocheting with so many yarns....very hard to do...I promised myself the next one will be a lighter color!

Kimberly,
:crackup: You got me....I have never kept one of my bears and you know I'd put him in the mail tomorrow! But, I think your pink bear needs a blue boyfriend.
:photo:  I have been strategically moving Ryan away from your professional black bear photos! :crackup:  :crackup:
Bear hugs,

I wish I was as talented to be able to crochet a bear. Lovely cute face he has.  Maybe if you moved him close to the window next time you need to photograph a bear. especially a black one. It may help. bear_thumb

Jeannie,

LOL, you crack me up!  By the way, I am NO professional Photographer...  I have been trying in vain since my VERY FIRST bear to get good close ups of the face/head, and it has all been in vain thus far.  bear_cry   bear_tongue

Thank you for the suggestion, Wendy. I tried at the window with Ryan, but I think the sun was still too bright...he turned out like a black blob! I will try again when it is not so bright!

He is divine.  I have a pattern for a gorgeous little dog but I can't crochet maybe one day.  If my dog turns out half as nice as your bear I'll be elated!

Oh Jeannie, he is sooooo adorable.  I just love the second and third pictures.  He looks so alive and like a curious little cub .   How did you ever work with black yarn   bear_wacko

Ah, Ryan is very cool! You did a great job with the pictures too. I have a black dog and it is almost impossible to get a good photo of her!

Ryan is just adorable, great job! :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
