This is my first bear I dare to show you all. 15.3 inches tall =39 cm.
It is made in german mohair wich I had colored by kool-aid Lime.
The eyes is german black glass and the nose I had made by Fimo clay.
I had used Promarker to make the brown shades in his face and on his ears.
He has an open mouth, it maybe difficult to see from the pics.

I am not a good friend with the camera but I tried to take some photos anyway.

Thank you so much for the great comments.
I discovered two days ago cut out pattern of a big bear in alpaca lying in a plastic bag in my wardrob?! I had forgotten all about the bear I was going to sew to have on my new bed. So many things has happend during the summer so my mind was totally blank about what the plastic bag inhold when I saw it. Well, now I had sew it together and jointed the big bear ("19" tall) but still not finnished... and by the way it´s my first own drawn pattern!

Thank you so much Melissa, you are so kind with your comments on my bears!  :hug:
I had no idea how the pattern would be on the finnish line but if I may say so I am very satisfied with the outcoming! l  bear_thumb bear_grin
It had been a joy of fun to put this bear together, though it´s very big.
I have to order big glass eyes, I have just tiny ones lying in my sawbox.
My little kitten had alredy tasted his fur so I don´t think I will be able to have it on my bed!!!  :crackup:
Maybe I will sell it when I am finnished?  bear_grin

And yes it`s my daughter, when she was 3 month old, on the tiny photo in the background. I can´t believe how 14 years can be disapear so fast!
To have a teenager in the house you will know that you still are alive! :pray:  bear_grin

Thank you so much! I am a swedish women not used to get credit for my work  bear_shocked bear_happy My cheeks turns red  :redface: bear_original
I still haven´t been able to come on any further on my second bear. I can´t decide how to attached the eyes or wich one I shall have on the bear. If it shall be a girly or a boy bear? I hope I will have some free time tomorrow to get the bear finnished atleast solve the eye problem. And then it is the ears! How I want the ears to be?!  Fold, big, long or in two colours? The easy part it´s to saw the bears together the hardest part is to finnish it with all the sculpting!!! Puuuh! bear_wacko

Thank you for the nice comment!
I had sewn a few bear since I started to make them last year but I have a hard time to get them to look professional made! So hard to make them symetric and cute some looks like they just met the devil! I had only dared to show three bears that I had just finnished so far but one of them isn´t finnished yet... I am still a newbie yet of sculpting the faces of the bears and to make the body jointed symetric...
