My most loved bear

Here I want to show you my most loved bear of my collection, I don't know what brand he is but I know I adore him, he has such a cute distinguished face, and he has a squeeze growler and it still works, he has a little hole in his left ear, but I don't know if there was a button in it.
If anyone knows what kind bear this is, please tell me!
I always want to make a pattern that looks like him, and now I made one and the face does look a little bit similer , I know it's a totally different bear, but somehow he comes a little bit in the neighboorhood, (well this is a translation from Flemish, I do not have a clue if this is English)Sorry.

I wanted to share some pictures of my bear and the new one, I hope you like them.
Have a lovely week-end!

Mik and Mousie

I am very busy planning and making all kind of little toys because I am joining a fair in Bruges in march.
Hope I get everything done, I have so many plans and time flies.
Still have to type out a lot of tutorials also, because I want to sell some bear kits to.

Here are some critters already

Emily

Emily is a one piece toy with 2 long ears and a white fluffy tail.
Her dress is crocheted especially for her.

Doodle toy(adopted)and going to live in Paris!:)

Today I enjoyed myself making this elephant based on a doodle I made.
I wanted to make him for a long time, and today my illustration work wasn't going at all(One of these days), and this seemed like a welcome distraction. :)
I liked making him.

Maybe it is a mamouth, yesI think it's a mamouth.

The orange bear has his ears and some friends to

 I finished the orange bear with the exelsior filling and he feels a little bit crunchy now, I like it :)
He looks graet with his coloured friend.
Those colours are welcome in these grey day's here.

crême fraiche tart

I made this tart friday evening and it was delicious :)

Mmmmmm
I bought me a ring to bake biscuit in and I had to try it out!

and the little red bear Odilon, I made just now.

Pretty old eyes

Sitting on his bag of wood shavings, this bear is still waiting for his ears to be sewn on.
I have been experimenting with exelsior wood filling to stuff this bear i.s.o. the polyester fiber I normally work with.
As you can see it makes a lot of mess, and dust too! :(
But in the end you get rewarded, because the stitching of the nose and claws is much easier with this kind of filling, but I recommend you try it out.Also, I find it easier to get the exact shape you want.

I found these antique eyes (wondering about on the internet)
and I like them a lot.
They come from an old stock of a long gone warehouse, there not really shoe buttons, just black glass ball's on wire, but still strong and all slightly different.

Now back to the ears, because the bear wants to enjoy my audiobook also.


Have a fine week-end!!
