OOAK Teddy Bear doll [pic heavy]

[Taxel]

I love this doll so much I've just gotta share it!

I participated in a real life Secret Santa for the first time this year. Because I planned to make all my SS gifts I had a little bit of trouble deciding on things to do, since forms & wishlists for it are geared more towards buying something. My partner mentioned they used to collect teddy bears and wish they still had the space for it. That really stuck with me and I just so happened to have a brand new block of fresh brown clay so Teddy was born!

I haven't made a teddy bear in around 7-8 years and it was even more chibi and unrealistic so he's not perfect, but I'm super happy with him anyways. You can see some imperfections because I was a bit rushed. Next time I make a bear the eyes will be thinner, the arms will be attached to the body higher, and the legs will actually be even in how they're attached to the body.

He's made of polymer clay, Premo for the brown parts and Sculpey Souffle for the black & pink. I forgot to measure him but he's pretty big as far as my dolls go!

OMG he is too cute!! I've never had much luck with sculpting and the one time I tried something like this his head fell off. I hope someday with practice I'll be able to get something closer to the quality of yours.

Its all about practice, clay quality, and wires xD I think this little guy has two wires securing the head to the body plus one wire for each ear. I also use TLS to help secure the wires and stuff-going-on-wires.
