Hello! I am obviously new to making bears. I have collected bears and I love artist bears...and decided I wanted to give it a try. Topper is my first bear made of mohair. I love how his goofy little face came out. He came out looking exactly like I wanted, so I hope you like it. He was fun to make.
My next bears were Punkin and Apple. I made them for a challenge on Teddy Talk. The challenge was to make bears with a theme of seasons...I hope it is obvious I picked Fall. These bears are similar to Topper, but with a longer snout.
I like how my patterns came out...now I just need to perfect my skills for putting the bear together. I had some issues with these three bears heads tilting up, but another bear artist helped me fix my problem.
I am working on a smaller version of Punkin and Apple and I am loving how he is coming along. I just need a few more supplies to finish him up. I am also working on a large Panda...over 20 inches...but again...waiting for supplies. I am a little nervous about how the panda will look done...It seems easier for me to go smaller vs. bigger. I had some issues but we shall see how it all works out.
I really am loving bear making and hope to be good enough to one day sell my bears with the funny, cute little noses.
