Mohair!
I have put together a few bears now, and I decided it was about time to use some precious mohair. I chose a piece that had dark brown guard hairs and was golden underneath, so his muzzle would really stand out. I really enjoyed making this fellow, I found the backing fabric a lot easier to work with than the faux fur. Well, here he is, Treacle, and he is available on ebay for auction!
Your bear is very sweet. I love your new enthusiasm in the art of making teddy bears. It sounds like you have what it takes to make some wonderful teddies. Your experience in making your teddy in the post below remind me of my first bears. It took forever :)Hugs, Vicki
