Just made this little guy for a girl I work with. She is here from Germany on a work exchange program through college. We plan to have a little "going home" lunch for her and will present her with this bear. I still have to make the little copper tag I want to hang from his collar that will say "BRUNO", which is the name of the company we work for. I will miss my new friend when she leaves, but hope she will continue to stay in touch, and will remember us when she hugs her new little bear.
Beautiful! Is it a blend of knitting and felting?
ReplyDeleteThe bear is made of imported German mohair-sewn, stuffed and jointed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift. I'm sure she will remember your kindness long after she forgets what she's learned at your company!! XXO-
ReplyDeleteAw, that's such a sweet gift, and a really gorgeous bear too!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so awesome! I can't imagine receiving such a nice gift, she will absolutely remember you!
ReplyDeleteHow completely cute, you are a lady of many talents!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift and I love the idea of the "Bruno" tag.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!!
What a cute little bear! She will love it! We used to have an exchange student from Germany. One of the best things we did. I wonder what happened to him now days.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, everyone.
ReplyDeleteThat bear is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhile it looks different, it reminds me of the bear my grandmother made for me. He also has jointed arms and legs.
There's a big smile on my face right.
Your new friend will cherish it, I'm certain.
