Two photographs for you this morning, they are group photos of my viscose, traditional type of bear & my new more vintage type of bear.

These are the viscose bears. The sizes shown here are 5", 8.5" & 11"
There is a 6" size as well 

These are the vintage style of bear, in mohair, but will also be making them in viscose
eventually. They come in 5", 7" & 9"

Been playing with patterns (again!!!) Gone with a vintage look this time.

Just posting a couple of new bears that have evolved over the last week or so. These two bears can be found on my website lanesendbears.com

Peony 6" mohair

Well Parker has found himself a new home. He'll be winging his way off to France later today. I shall be sorry to see him go, he was a particular favourite of mine.
Whilst sorting the dogs this morning I noticed the swallows ducking & diving in the barn, swooping round & back out again!!! Summer must be on it's way at last.

Introducing Scooter. He is 6" bear made from Shulte viscose & wears a hand knitted hat scarf. He can be found on my website lanesendbears.com

Been messing around with patterns over the last few weeks!!! The result the four bears showing below.
I wanted to use the smaller pieces of viscose & mohair, left over from larger bears. Not sure I like these ones particularly, but at least I've used up the fabric!!!
