Elmo

This is Elmo.

He's a wistful little bear, who likes blowing dandelions, toasting marshmallows ( and eating them after) and stopping to smell roses and nice smelling flowers. He's quite a shy quiet little guy, known for small burst of excitement and chatter.

In terms of his making or birth should we say, I only gently aged him, as I felt it the super aged stained look was not him. The mohair I used had already been dyed twice, to get rid of some of that new white quality While I've in the past been a champion of ironing my mohair bears to felt the mohair like it's been loved and rubbed, i've found that really nothing beats the old hand, holding rubbing and playing a new game called sausage bear.

He's quite a little bear, I do have to say I enjoy making this size, he measures about 9.5" tall and is quite fine i guess which makes him seem small too.

thank you all so much for your lovely comments on his progress. He here is.
