Making Time

I liked the brown bear I made for the Coloriffic Swap-o-rama swap so much, that I made a new littly guy like him. A bit smaller! I tried to make him with longer arms like the early 20th century bears. They had long arms, because they were styled more closely to real bears and were meant to walk on all fours. Oh I should post the sketches!
The wool was leftover from yarn hair for a doll, it’s wool, and I used a 2.5mm hook- so the final fabric is nice and firm. I like doing psuedo-joints. It means he’s poseable, but it’s a lot less fuss.

I could not get plastic eyes small enough, so I made them out of small blue felt circles, and embroidered black dots into the middle, which also anchored them.
