Finished this bear a couple of nights ago. He is Ben, 12" standing, made from synthetic fur, 5 way cotter pin jointed, he has plastic eyes & a rubber nose, Never used one of these before & can't say I'm totally in love with the idea....but you have to try these things!!! His pads & inner ears are made from a needle cord fabric. He has some pea shingle in his tummy to give him a little added weight.
Had a bit of an up/down week, have been accepted as a bear artist on the Artist Bears International website, so two of the bears...Ted & Elijah.... are on there, well pleased with that result. But sadly I applied to be on the 100 Bear Artists Blogs, & was refused. Never mind my page views for this blog are climbing steadily, with international viewers, so when I write a blog, I now know that I'm not just writing to the big black hole out there.
Have a good day everyone. Speak soon.
