Custom Karl Bear Work in Progress

Work in Progress
Custom Karl Bear
Day 4


I was finally able to sit down for a bit and work on my bear this evening and got a few things accomplished at least :)

I worked mostly on his needle felted eye surrounds and embroidery for his nose and mouth.
I also spent a great deal of time further sculpting his muzzle and chin.
I still need to firm up his muzzle as it still has a bit of softness to the felting here and there and tonight I will be working on his ears. Most nights after our kids have had their bedtime stories and singing time and are cuddled happily into their beds, my husband and I settle down to a couple of episodes or Star Trek....yes, you heard me right...Star Trek! We are die hard fans :) I usually use this time as the majority of my bear making.....my poor unfortunate husband usually has to share our alone time with me AND my bears :) Thankfully, he doesn't mind too much!


Karl is well on his way to completion. Once his ears and painting are complete I will be getting his body together for sewing and assembly.

Than you so very much for following Karl Bear's journey to completion. If you are interested in your own custom bear, please contact me at

Blessings!

oh yes, he is becoming quite the handsome bear, and after reading your moms post now, I see where the sincerity in his eyes comes from, your grandfathers namesake, surely he is smiling through! He will be a beautiful bear! xoxo Christel

I'm guessing Karl Bear will be watching while you complete his body? It's always interesting to see what order other artists make their bears.

Warmest Hugs,

He's progressing beautifully Tomi.

I see you are trekkies like my mummy and daddy, they are big fans.

Sometimes this creates havoc for mummy - check the blog.
