Teddy Special edition - Jessie
I am a little bear of 30 cm, full of joy and happiness.
I have high quality, big, black German glass eyes.
My feet and arms are wired to be able to pose in every possible way.
I also got a spine, so my body can move too.
And this spine makes it possible to move my head in many ways without a joint.
My arms and legs are jointed.
My paws are made of faux leather and are sculpted.
My face is needle felted and carefully shaded with oil paints.
I was made in a smoke- and pet free environment.
I come in my own gift box with an birth certificate with my dates.
I am NOT a toy, neither for children or for animals.
Small parts could get loose and be swallowed.

Jessie has now a face
Today Jessie got her (his?) face.
Isn’t the look like (s)he was on a party with Rasta man ?
I still need to stuff the limbs, sculpt toes and fingers and fit all together.
I have seen the question in a forum, make the felted muzzle with or without muzzle on the head under the felt.
This one is without. Somehow i find it easier to work without i think.

work on new teddy goes good, and new ears on the wire for Jackson
now this looks just like i hoped :D
It stretches slightly … but not to much, when i sculpt it, i guess it give a nice effect.
And my lovely Jackson got his ears now on a wire, working like a headband.
and here is the best picture of him … i can’t stop looking at him :)
Joanne, thank you so much for the inspiration for the body.
I am so happy with this design now :) without you i would still struggle with sweet but normal teddy’s
I think i found my niche with this here *smiles broadly*
Starting a new dark brown bear
This time i will not post every step, but i will give you every day a short round up of what i did.
Today i took one of my lovely - and not so cheap - faux fur..
Which in it self is a wonder … because i just love to have the faux fur, but don’t dare to cut into it.
Well … today … i did it … i cut into it :D
And i prepared everything for the seam allowance haircut tomorrow :)
It is such a lovely fur, so silk, so tense, so … DROOL
I just love it.
it is the longest hair are just about 2 cm (nearly 1 inch)
The ground is a dark brown - grey with golden tips.
The little dark roll you see in the front of the first picture, is an jacket i owned, it looks a bit like antique leather, but it is a slightly stretchy fabric.
I want to try the paw pads with it … I don’t know if it works, because it is very thin.
