Felted Teddy Bear

Well, i have been working away, and now my tebby bear is finally finished, it seemed that everything stood in my while i was making him, and so he has taken me months! 

This is 'Toby', he is 100% felted using only wool, his outer fluff is Shetland wool, and he has been made to be fluffy, with a very think, close fur like appearance.  He is very soft to touch, but is very firm, he has a traditional stitch nose, which has been finished to have a satin shine, and he has glass eyes (from Germany).  Toby, is in one position only, he cannot be moved and no limbs can be posed.  

The overall measurements are:  7" wide x 8" tall (to his ear)

Toby comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed with photos, he is 'One of a Kind' and therefore will not be replicated.

Toby is currently for sale on my bear page 'Woolly Bears'

Its almost here...

I have now set my date for my new project, this Feb is all about preparation, getting all the tools and equipment for such a large piece, and getting the studio finally moved around to accommodate it. I shall be giving write up's on my blog, updates on Facebook with loads of images. I would hope it will spark a little interest to what i do, and how fantastic it can really be. I shall be taking photos through the whole process, and i may even do some hints and tips. If you know of anyone that likes art, or wool, crafting or something new, please let them know. I shall post the blog link later this month, and im set to start this very exciting (for me) project, on the 1st March :) .... A little hint, it has something to do with horses xx
