Well here is he, the much agonized head has become whole. His name is Colin. He's a very gentle bear. He is inspired by my antique bear Gus.
He measure 13" is fully jointed, made from a ditressed mohair which I have additionally plucked and aged to hopefully make him look like an old bear.

Awww he's gorgeous Jess. I love how you can distress him and make him look like an old antique bear.
Oh My Goodness Jess! He looks marvelous! Your bears get better and better, if that is even possible! Colin looks very wise, as if he has been around for a very long time and learned a lot from life. (And he really has been around for a long time, tho in your imagination...) I really do love the bears that live with me that were "born" thru you... Please keep up the good work!

Colin is as beautiful as any antique Steiff. He has such a fabulous face. You are very clever!
Thank you ALL for such lovely KIND and beautiful comments! It really means a whole lot. I say that a lot, but it's totally true, especially with this guy, I put a lot of my heart into him, he's a bit important to me.
