Polar Bears as far south as Devon


The last bears of 2009.



The pink or should I call it the Port Wine creation/painted Amie and the Polar are both made from the same pattern.

Thought I would show you how "different" the look can be using slightly different materials.

Both bears are made from acrylic, one very long multi coloured material.
The other from soft white medium long dense material. One has all the safety features possible and the other I have made with traditional cotter pins and black glass eyes. Slight sculpture and shading to both faces.



Both are spoken for and are ready to move on.
One last thing to do before they go.

To make them truly Soggibottom Bears.
They will both sit in the cottage window for a few days.


The next bear ?
Back to mohair............

You make me want to get out my bear making books and create something, but I have no patience for gussets and figuring out how to fit the pieces together properly;)

Amazing what one pattern and two different fabrics can do. I'm glad to see the four-legged friends are doing fine after the holidays.

What a difference, but how beautifully made they both are. The Polar Bear is absolutely great. Shannon's first gift from her Daddy was a white teddy bear...which was not white by the time it was put away for her. When I found it after years and years, I did try and clean him up, and it did work, whatever I did. Your bear looks gorgeous, and gave me very nice memories of my little girl...
