Wild Haired

When I put this away a couple of years ago, it was not because I didn’t love this fur. I had previously made a bear in similar mohair but in a different color. I liked the results but I put this one away because something else caught my attention and my patience for working with it departed.

Then when I came across the fabric again, that longing to see it turn into the bear I had envisioned so many, many months ago resurfaced. I decided that now was the time and I found that my patience for this project returned.

In the photo below, it might be kind of difficult to discern that this furry blob is the body of a bear. Both arms and both legs are there – in there – somewhere.

And this spherical thing is the head. I know because there’s a nose there on the lower left portion. I also know this because I sewed that nose.

There’s the face that waited good-naturedly for me to get back to it and bring it forth.

The first bear of the New Year. Welcome you wild haired thing you!

    1. Hi Prudence,

      Your assessment is duly noted! This new bear needed a little confidence boost and I think you provided it very well.

    1. Hi Ladytats,

      I do like the wild hair too! Thank you! I am still ruminating on a name. I'm always open to suggestions if she doesn't come up with her own.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    2. She reminds me of the little blond haired girl with a wild mane, she was so busy that she didn't have time to comb. Her name was Charlotte, charly for short

      Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the hair and the face. It's most definitely an untamed mane!

    1. Hi Jack and The Clan,

      I suppose that moniker is appropriate considering but aren't you all furballs of some sort or other?! Thank you for the generous and warm welcome on her behalf!

  9. Little Scruff is adorable. I don't know how you get such wonderful faces on your bears.
    they all have a so much personality.

    My computer died, so I have not been able to be in contact with all my beautiful friends. I am glad to be back and seeing such great little bears.
    Hugs
