So I lied

lucky it wasn't a big one.
But when I said Igor was the last steiff type bear for the year, I was so sad, and of course like any child very soon after all I could think of was making another one.
And I also had the perfect bit of mohair that I had dyed a while back ( twice) i couldn't really concentrate on anything i was supposed so Wally was born.

Wally is another of my boy bears, a little cheeky and little sweet. Likes tree climbing, digging for bugs and riding on trams.
He prefers cake and cookie batter to cakes and cookies.
All the good stuff in life.
Wally will also be one of the last of my makings I can show you as from now until mid Jan I'll be going into major exhibition prep.

My daughter was trying to sneak Arthur out of my room today and I had to move fast! No-one makes these little fellows like you do :) Kx

p.s. my daughter and I are currently negotiating a time-share arrangement ;)

Wally looks like Colin's baby brother. (I dig your kind of fibbing).

I am nearly heartbroken that I missed this post and saw that he had been sold! Oh Wally, you are perfect! I would have have bought him in a heartbeat (not sure how but would have found a way!) Still, glad he has found a forever home and know he will be loved.

Perhaps next year, when you make another stieff type bear, who looks at me with "please take me home" eyes, I will be ready.

Your work never fails to take my breath away. What an artist you are.

And ooh, so exciting about the exhibition!!

Hugs
