Widget

The bears that I make fall into 4 categories. They are the crazy psycho bears, the sweet sensitive gentle bears, the boy bears and the daggy dorky dweeby bears.

Widget here definitely falls into the last category. He is one big dag. Widget ( i seem to be on a real kick of calling bears after cartoon characters) like his name sake is deeply into all things space. He's the sort of bear that would spend all his lunchtimes in the library studying, or reading and finding out about everything there possibly is about his latest passion.

Don't get me wrong I'm very fond of a dag and am one big dag myself.

ON the making side of things, i was particularly proud of the colour I dyed the mohair, though I really can't take any credit for it, as it happened by accident. I was dying some red mohair and green mohair in my usual ageing solution. And usually when I dye two lots with one pot of , I dye the dark colour first as the lighter colour will need less dye. I followed that logic and dyed the red first and then made the mistake of following it with the green. But as you can imagine the red dye from the mohair ran into the pot and hence I have this greeny yellowy, browny colour.

he also have different eyes than I normally use, but I'm quite liking them for a change, and a different shaped body than usual , more a jelly bean type body.
