Well late last night I finally finished my bear made from the free pattern by Emma of Emma's Bears and she has turned out lovely. I used a thick pale blue acrylic fur and wool felt for the pads and inner ears. I needle felted flowers on her foot pads and embroidered around them to define. She has quite a lot of glass beads inside her for weight - I like my bears to be heavy! She has glass eyes and a dark grey embroidered nose (Im not too good at embroidering noses). I have named this bear Emma after her designer. Hope you like her!
She is my 26th bear I have made since 2008 when I started my bear making adventure. Most of my bears I have either made for myself or to give as gifts and a few I have sold at our African Violet Society show - 2010 show is Oct 16 and 17 at the Auditorium Brisbane Botanic Gardens - Mt Coot-tha Brisbane.

Just thought I would show you the cute little dolls I made over the last few weeks (my internet connection was on go-slow and had to do something instead of surfing the net). Each doll is needle felted over a wire armature and is about 10cm or 4 inches high. The hair is mohair and the dresses are made from bought felt and needle felted on the edges to join. I am selling them on Etsy (link on the right >>>>) except for the purple one which I am keeping as that was the first one and I love purple.
