Of course it's Gosling



I'm not sure why I ever thought this guy was anything but Gosling. But luckily he saved himself from wrong naming, when on being called Gweedo, there was an uncomforable shuffle of paws and feet and then a quiet but polite little voice saying "excuse me, I think you might be mistaken, my name is Gosling"
Anyway here he is, little Gosling. A quiet but determined little bear, able to entertain himself for hours , of in his own little world, lover of jigsaw puzzles, building cubbies and peanut butter sandwiches.
I had lots of fun making him, it's a new mohair (always exciting). Gosling's been gently aged and is his tummy's understuffed with beads, giving him a lovely wonky, squishy, squidgy feeling , and wrinkly roly looking tummy.
He'll be hanging out here for the time being waiting for someone to take him home.

I wanted to write to you the other day to say how much I love your bears...they are absolutely adorable and would make lovely illustrations too!

Look at how cute he is!

I love making bears, but its so expensive, and I don't know the best way to go about selling them...:0)

I'm sure he will have a new home soonxx
