and choose a name … which might be a slight problem … a lot of names are taken.
here is the finished test pattern for the children's teddy.
He is so really huggable, a fat and cosy little fellow :)
and i finished the grey traditional teddy .. and really don’t like him.
i called him Theodor, and he found a loving mommy already, which makes me happy, because teddy's should be loved :)
i also got an commission work, a teddy for a 5 year old.
we choose Australian micro plush in dark golden colour.
i tested with a rather stretchy white plush the pattern for this bear.
was my first time i did a popper scissor sculpting, and after a loooong break a embroidered nose again, but the result is not so bad :D
the actual teddy will have child save joints and eyes though.
AND i got my felting wool :D
so many shades of brown and grey :)
the colours seem to be a bit brighter then they are … all is a tiny bit darker in real.
The 2 bags off white are just that, off white merino, 1 of this bags i will bleach - i need snow white wool for felting … and it is almost impossible to buy this here.
You remember when i told you i cant decide which fur to use ?
and how i cut 3 furs ?
well … those 3 furs are now close to be ready - for faces :)
the limbs are jointed and stuffed and closed
the heads are stuffed and mounted to the body and got the eyes.
Now i need to wait till the wool arrives … wool ? yeaaaa
i ordered 15 different shades of grey and brown mohair for felting :)
and when the wool arrives, i am hopefully ready to get the felting started.
On Tuesday i got a loooovely present from a dear friend, Richard Backschas, i show you further down what it was.
But this meant, i had to research about traditional teddy pattern.
So i looked at a lot of pictures, and made the first pattern.
Here is the bear - the first proto type :)
He is really small - just 24 cm - IF he could stand, which he cant… poor fellow
He is not really optimal yet, so i made a few changes to the pattern, and cut a grey sparse mohair … it is partly sewn, i was just so itching from the cut hair i had to stop for last night.
I already ordered some wood wool … it should arrive today or on Monday.
I don't know if it works out all right and usable or if it needs some more adjustments, but in case i need to make a version 3, i got some white sparse mohair :)
After this i should be ready … what for you ask … ohhh you will see … scroll down :)
Here it is … the present
Some so wonderful antique mohair !!
deep red wine the colour … i am drooling over this colour :)
This will be the final version of my traditional style teddy.
I cant wait to see him :)
some days ago i started with Mrs Childeater … Abberdena she will be called - if all goes like it is supposed to go
Everything is ready … all i have to do is felt a face and paws.
But i don’t feel like it.
So today i have cut some more teddy … didn’t know which fur to go for, so i gone for all :)
