new antique bear

Pffff, I am struggling to finish this little bear. I saw this antique mohair in Wiebaden, and just had to buy some, it looks so pretty, but it is really hard to work with this sturdy, but also very fragile material, I had a really hard time, turning the limbs took ages, I think it took me3 times longer to finish this bear, and I am almost done now, so I tought I could already share some pictures with you .
I wanted to give this bear really worn out shoe buttons for eyes, but in the end, I did prefer to ad some more color and chose to give him these pretty handmade eyes, light blue and moss green, They fitted him very wel.I hope you like him :)

Still attach one ear, and stuff his belly.

Scruffer (adopted)

Scruffer is a wonderful antique looking teddy bear. He is well loved and is made with lovely hand dyed mohair.
(high quality german mohair)
He has black glass eyes and a cotton embroidered nose and paws.
He has mini mohair paws.
He wears an old ribbon and a rope with a bell and a real old key.
He is stuffed with polyester fiber and a little bit of steel shot in his belly to give him some extra weight.
He is waiting to get real well hugged by someone.

I have posted already one picture of Richard in a previous post, but he wasn't yet finished then and the picture was very dark.
Yesterday I have finished him and took some clearer pictures today!
It is so difficult to photograph a black bear!! :(
Here he is!
