My first miniature Teddy Bear

My very first miniature Teddy Bear ! Made of gold wool/rayon felt with cream paws and ears.

I got inspiration and design help from Debbie Kesling's book How to Make Enchanting Minaiature Teddy Bears. She makes exquisite furry miniatures, and the book has some interesting tid bits. Of course I had to change things up. The result is this cool, lanky bear with jointed limbs, made with wool felt, one of my favorite materials. All the seams are whipstitched because that's just a cool look on felt.

The teddy bear stands approximately 4 1/2 inches tall. Onyx beads are used for the eyes. Stuffed with plastic pellets.
