Yesterday, I finally finished my latest version of Colin. So he here is. I think I'm more pleased with him than the last one I made, but.... perhaps I've got the post bear wobbles....It always happens to me after I finish a bear.
Anyway Colin is 13" tall, fully jointed and made from a distressed mohair which I have additionally plucked , sanded and clipping to ( hopefully) make him look old. He's sort of your classic bear. His head is stuffed with wood wool, his arms and legs cotton stuffing, and his body is filled with pellets giving him a bit of a squidgy feeling. He's got a bit of wonky nose ( on purpose) and lack of some nose and claw stiching ( again on purpose). He's modeled on/ inspired by as you may know my beautiful old Steiff bear Gus ( whom I did not make), with whom he's pictured in the last pic. More pics of him are over here.

He is amazing Jess. I love the way you purposely distressed him to make hime look old. Gorgeous!
Oh Jess! He came out just lovely! You should be so proud! I wouldn't know where to begin to make something beautiful as your Colin!
