Default Bear four done
Four down, four to go.
I was thinking a "sports bear" next, perhaps a Cubs fan.
I also had the idea of a "Careless bear" with lots of bandaids; (Theresa didn't like that idea)

I have been watching for your posts on these cute bears.
I love'em. Just one thing will you be willing to post the pattern on your website or make the pattern availible for purchase? Hope I am not being rude by asking.

Thanks.

The pattern is not mine, I bought these roughouts from Vicki Bishop (snickerbocker) on this message board.

http://www.bishopwoodcarving.com/forsale.htm

You will notice that the bear I am carving is not listed for sale, it was discontinued, but Vicki sold them to me if I bought eight at a time.

If you decide to order some, the bears name is "Buda"; or you could just mention the bears I am carving.

Once I finish these eight, I may order eight more, they are fun to carve.

Nice job on the bears Rick. I think my favorite so far is the small patchwork or tapestry bear. Great variations, looking forward to the other four.
