#43...... Wanted to try something bigger, and try a different way with the wire, fiddly but not so many broken needles!! He's about 14cm. Used the reverse needle to get the fluffy effect, and used the white cushion stuffing rather then the wool, so that if the white came though it would be OK. I think he's my fav thing I've mage so far. Really enjoyed doing so thing bigger, but used alot more wool!! Not so thing I can afford to just experiment with. Yup I think bears are def my fav to make!! Felt, Needle Felting, Teddy Bear, Wool, Needle, Needles, Bear, Felting, Wire

#35..... Made for my husbands bday. For me I draw out design ideas and this is one I had early on but wasn't sure how best to make it. But went for it, and really pleased with the result, and he stands up! Used matalic wire, which was super glues in to place. This bear is the first I've made using armature, so has a wire frame which means he can move his arms and head, although it's in his legs as they are quite thick he cannot sit down.

#31, 32, 33, & 34..... My first commissions! All repeats of what I've already done. Actually hard to get it the same / similar to what I've already done, but enjoying the challenge. Had an experiment and discovered by adding pva glue to the tree trunk, and letting it dry it goes hard and gives it a better look. Glue, Dinosaur Stuffed Animal, Experiment

#28...... With wire feet, wrapped in florest tape, and super glued to make shiny. This is the frog I used to draw as a cartoon as a kid all the time, so figured it was about time I made him for real! Next time I would use wire in legs to help pose him easier. Art, Frog, Super Glue
