Finally got around to trimming my personal bears face. I recently got a curved scissor set which was the perfect tool for this.
-
Thread sculpted feet and paws for the truffle bear. This took literal hours and thread pulling hurt my hands, but the end result is so satisfying. These still need colour shading before being attached to the body (& I’m terrified of doing it! What if I stuff them up?!).
-
Stuffed all the parts, ready for detailing. Also made the weight bag for the body, ready to be inserted when the limbs/head are installed.
-
More work on the large truffle teddy. I’ve basted then machine stitched everything, clipped the curves, and inserted the joints.
-
48 pieces of a faux mohair/real mohair truffle themed personal teddy bear. This all took about 5 solid hours to mark, cut, and prep.

Meet ‘Otto’, a 14” bear made using Furaddiction’s lyric pattern. His fur has guard hairs and he features brown glass eyes and suede paw pads shaded with derwent inktense blocks & pencils. He wears a quadruple bow with a natural seashell ornament. Not for sale. This bear already has a home.

Look at this cute little face! Gonna shade this once it’s attached to the rest of the bear.
-
I bought some inktense blocks to try out for shading. They are great for under shading colours on fabric pads but I ended up using my intense pencils using the water dip method to get the fine edging details though.

A natural coloured bear in progress. Here’s a look at all 52 pieces, which took about 5 hours total to cut and prepare for sewing.

Finished face and head is now attached to the body. What a cutie this one is going to be when finished!
