The Beginnings of the Next Bear…

I took this photo earlier in the month.. .when it was a little warmer!

It turned into the inspiration for my next bear – Buttercup!

First, I needed to decide on the size of bear I would make.  Since the inspiration was my little tiny Chihuahua Sequoia, I thought it would be appropriate that this bear should be a miniature bear!

Next step – dying the mohair….
