Something a bit different.

[Ruth]

I have just finished working on a Tassel bear,as a swap with a lovely lady in South Africa.I had never done one before;I think you'll agree it's a bit different!She is 4" from the top of the head to the bottom of the "skirt".I gave her a sun charm as she will be going to a very sunny country ! I also tried a way I've had in mind to define mini-bear eyes-which I'm pleased with.

Ruth, your bear is simply adorable. I particularly love the big ears. They really give a bear such an endearing personality.
Well done. You are an inspiration to us all.

A great concept and very beautiful colours.

Many congratulations.................. I know the recipient will love it.
Did s/he ask for this type of a bear or did inspiration just take over?

Thankyou so much ladies...Sheila , that's the nicest compliment I've ever had !!:6042: Several times I nearly down-sized the ears,but decided to try them out first !
In fact these Tassel bears are very popular in the States , although this was my first go.The body is 3/4 made and pulled over the solid head of the tassel.Theoretically you could go up to any size I suppose. The swap has been organised through an online group who do themed swaps and challenges,which is another great way to meet beary like-minded people !!:D

What a lovely idea Ruth, it gives so many more options to display your bears when all the shelves are full !

A great present cute and useful.
