Hi Everyone

This is a new chunky 23 inch bear which I've just completed as a commision for an Anniversary.
He's without a name until his new Dad comes to see him and pick one tomorrow but I'm so thrilled. It was great to work with this gorgeous, thick Schulte fur and I just hope I've done him justice.
Hope you like him.

Richard

I guess you know what I think of him, Richard... I love him: such a big handsome boy; I love his expression and the fur is absolutely gorgeous! bear_wub
You certainly did him justice and I am sure that his new dad will love him just as much as I love Sam. bear_thumb

I wonder: why is it men want big bears? Size matters??? :crackup:

Hugs,

Peter & Sam

Wowser! :dance: That's one beautiful big bear!

I absolutely love the scissor-sculpting you did. You most certainly did justice to that fabulous fur. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks Sue, Ali, Peter and Becky bear_original
Everyone in the bear world is so encouraging and enthusiastic.
This fur was a treat to work with and glad you like the scissor work Becky as I was so nervous cutting the face on this one.
The fur is a really long schulte from BearBasics if anyone fancies some. Its great fun and is actually really soft.
As for your question Peter... I'm not sure there's a safe answer haha. bear_whistle I think if we're going to have bears we might as well have them a little masculine at the same time. Maybe big boisterous, daddy bears reflect our personalities better.
