Well, almost finished anyway, I’m thinking about making a dress as well (which some members of my family find very strange – “why would you put a dress on a bear?!”)
If you missed my last beary post, this is a design by Joan Blyton and is 12 inches tall.
This was a steep learning curve for me – the jointing and positioning of limbs as well as the facial features was really challenging, and I found the instructions sadly lacking in detail. I ended up needle sculpting the face quite a bit as I didn’t like the way it looked.
I’m not really happy with this bear, I think it’s a “cute” bear but lacks character. I’m sufficiently pleased though to have another go in the near future, I’ve already started drawing up some designs to hopefully achieve the look that I like.
I must also say a big thank you to Sandi for her help and encouragement!
I love her face, you just want to pick her up and give her a hug,

Kel, she IS very cute!
I think you've done a wonderful job and obviously have the bug š
I think he's turned out to be quite a handsome looking chap. At least he actually looks like a bear, not like some first bears I've seen over the years…yes there have been some that even a mother wouldn't love! LOL!
Thanks for the kind words and the link hon.
Warmest Hugs,

You have done a great job with the face, very sweet. I hear you on limb positioning – I am making my first button jointed doll and am finding it diffcult too.
I think your bear is adorable – her face is very cute and loveable.

Oh, thanks for such kind words!
Your bear is very cute! She has a 'take-me-home-I'm-forlorn'look that is very endearing.
