Sunday, March 29, 2009 Stuffie Sunday: A Pento-Bear!
This took me about three hours total to make. The face, as you can see in the close-up, is hard and is made out of clay. I first formed an aluminium foil base and then stuck a whole lot of clay and animal eyes on the top. Loads and loads of clay was stuck on to make the cheeks and muzzle so I hope the joins aren't too pronounced. This PentoBear has brown 9mm animal eyes and I used a mix of 3 different browns to make the face.
The head was made out of old fun fur (normally I would use it as a wig for dolls) that I made into a ball, and then I hot melted the face on. I like the fur because the pink, blue, and yellow bits came ready on there so I didn't have to dye them or anything. The 5 limbs are made out of nice shiny black fun fur (it shed like crazy all over the place and I had to vacuum.) The pictures don't really do the PentoBear justice.
In the bottom two pictures, the PentoBear is wearing her/his/its rain hat, which is just a faux flower. All in all, I think it's a rather cute stuffie >< Once I get the pattern right I might want to sell them. This particular one likes to sit right in front of the computer and keep me company. So far it hasn't been evicted by Mum so I see that as a good sign. It hasn't got a name or a gender or a profile, I'll figure all that out once I've had time to carry it places.

Life is a maze and Love is a riddle
I'm Rose. Yes, I'm a little lost girl, only I happen to only be little in size. So. I'm a twerpy, skinny nutcase who lives in Ontario, Canada. If you don't know where that is, I suggest you consult a map. It's the turkey-thigh shaped one on the east coast. I like art, stuffies, and ice cream. I draw a lot but most of my work isn't good enough for anything but the bin.
One word of advice: Eat your veggies.
