So, at the weekend I decided that they needed makeovers.

New bear - Jiao Jin

Jiao Jin is approximately 12.5" tall (measured standing).

He is made from gold flecked cream and black mohair. (The photo's don't do him justice, he is much more sparkly when you see him 'in the fur'  )

His paw pads are made from black ultra-suede, which have embroidered toes.

Jiao Jin is five way jointed with a wobble-neck joint, and is filled
with heavy weight polyester fibre.

He also has some stainless steel ball bearings in his tummy for extra weight.

He has hand painted green glass eyes and a large embroidered nose.

His face has been lightly needle sculpted and hand shaded.

He is also wearing a wire wrapped sodalite crystal around his neck.

Jiao Jin is one of a kind and his adoption fee is £120.00 plus postage.

Esme - new witchy bear

Her skirt didn't quite go to plan. Bears I can do, clothing still needs a lot of practice!
She was always going to be a witchy bear, so I made her a lovely new hat instead.
I think she will be called Esme.

Going to do her photo shoot tonight.

New witchy bear - WIP

I am working on a new witchy bear at the moment.

Here are a few work in progress photos.

Ready to attach her body now.
