Been a While Without Bears

 The counter has been covered with bear making supplies for about 2 weeks now.

I'm almost done with this guy.

A couple snipped threads and embroidered claws will finish him up.

One thing I did want to mention, these are glass eyes which had been shiny. 

I didn't like the shiny look so I sanded them. Now they look perfect!

Puts me in the right spirit to visit the

Yesterday Was Eyes

The first trick is getting the eyes pointing in the right direction.

Expect to use a lot of fiber to stabilize the eye area. Don't try working to much around plastic eyes because they will scratch, these are glass.

Don't bother with your accent color until you have the area built up.

Right now I think he looks like the Geico lizard. Today I'll work on his ears, that should help!
