Bears 10 – Short Haired Mohair 5 inch Bears

I love making bears with good fabric and this mohair is lovely to work with.  I bought it before we started this years trip with the intention of concentrating on small bears.  I was diverted for a while by the Brighton bears but finally got round to making these.  I have been reading ‘Gone with the Wind’ too which is an epic and also diverted me.

I first made this short haired bear and thought he had turned out really well.

But though I say so myself, this shorter haired bear is nigh on perfect.

They are 5 inches tall (12.5 cm) with small cotter pin joints and glass eyes.

I made scruffy (left) previously and the new ones make him look a bit Neanderthal.
