IMG_4174_edited-small.jpgsmall.jpgThis is Patagonia, she will be looking for a new home starting Sunday on ebay. 
She is made of matching pieces of Shulte kid mohair.  Needle felted muzzle, eye lids and nose, nose is then waxed.  I have rooted mohair into her muzzle and trimmed.  Detailed leather pawpads, epoxy claws.  Lots of panda details. 
She will be listed with a reserve, you can find out more info on that on my website.

I have been working on my website, I have added some new pages, a materials page, a techniques page which gives some added info on all the lingo used.. needle felt.. needle sculpt..waxed nose, well you get it.  Also a page with photos of my hug.  I have some unidentified bears I could use some help with.  I would like to swap links if anyone is interested please let me know.

Oh Joanne,
I love this little lady. She  is so adorable.  Just like a real little Panda!   I looked at your website, too, it looks great.  I especially loved looking at your past bears.  They are all so wonderful.   I still feel sad that I lost Sedona's auction at the end!   She is my all time favorite!
Hugs,
Janice

I'm nearly speechless! (nearly) She looks soooo huggable and appealing, and you got the panda nose exactly right. I LOVE Patagonia!

Thanks Janice and Becky for the nice comments.
Janice, Sedona is my most favorite place in the world, so that bear will always be special to me too.
And Becky, thanks again for helping me indentify my Twyford teddy.

Fantastic, I love this cute little girly panda Joanne. You say that you have rooted mohair into her muzzle , how stable is this, does it not pull out if the panda is brushed?

Hi Jane, Thank you, I am so glad you like her. 
After the fur is rooted into the felt, it does not pull out any easier than if it was woven in.  After I rooted it, I used a comb to pull it up so I could trim it nice and even.  That is not a gentle procedure and  it's all still there.   I have also been experimenting with rooting it other places through the fabric.  That takes a bit more time to grab and get tangled into the stuffing, but once it does it's in there.
