Picture-4606.jpgThis is my newest bear, a very big mistake or "accident" you could say. :redface:   bear_ermm   I started this bear after my surgery in Feb. as I could felt the parts and was a bit frustrated by being "laid up" and all the poking helped a bit. bear_wacko 
  She was only ever meant to have a needle felted outfit and her limbs and head were to be of mohair.
  I had put her aside without finishing her as I wasn't sure I even liked her but I took her out again last week and decided to finish her. She was all done and jointed together and I was adding stuffing to her head before I did her nose when diaster struck  bear_shocked   :redface: 
  While stuffing her nose area, I poked my stuffing tool right through her face and made a hole  bear_cry  I was horrified and sewing her up didn't help,her face was uneven and I was heart broken.
  Well I always meant to try the needle felted face course but never had the funds or time. I know that there are some beautiful bears made and displayed on here so I knew I couldn't hope to do as well but I had no choice but to try. I think she turned out okay for a first try and i will probably list her later today.
   I truly admire all the talented people on here that are able to make such wonderful felted bears and creatures.  I have not named her yet and she is about ten inches high so a "small" bear for me  bear_smile Thanks for looking.  :hug:

What a serendipidous "mistake"!! She is gorgeous! You will have to do more of the mohair/needlefelted combinations.
