Description
This little guy is the biggest bear I've made so far. He's about 5 inches when sitting (7" standing) and that's about as big as I'd ever make. I like miniature.

Made out of faux fur with guard hairs (to make it look more like real fur) and ultra suade for the paws and the insides of the ears. His nose was sculptured out of polymer clay by me and he's also weighed with steel shot. Copic markers were used for shading. I particularly liked how the pulled paws came out - used a bit more thread sewn into them to create their toe shapes. I'll definitely be using that technique on future bears.

Bailey is made from a kit (of the same name) so I cannot claim creation of the pattern design.
That was done by the very kind Helen Gleeson and you can find her website at [link]
