Teddy Special edition - Jessie

Hello friends, i am 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.
