the last one



By the last one i mean the last steiff type bear of the year. With christmas orders and stuff for the colab still to do , I don't think I will have time for another of them until next year.
His name is Igor Kwonk, and he's the wonkiest of all my mohair bears that I make. Wonky nose, askew eyes, ears of different sizes, lots of staining and ageing and mooshing, and lots of fun to make.


he's is insipred or based off Mr Worn old wonk himself, Ferdy an old bear of mine.




And Igor was this guy way back then , so see there always is a happy ending, even if it takes a few weeks ( because I realised half way through making him that i didn't have all the materials to make him properly, hence waiting for mail order etc)

He is so man-ly... does that sound strange? There's something very grown-up and world-wise about him. He's adorable. Glad he had a happy ending and especially glad he's not the last one ever! ;) Kx
