Easter bunny and big bear

My lop-eared bunny, Chiffon (9 inches tall)

Easter is coming, I'd like you to meet Chiffon, a very sweet bunny made from chinchilla Tissavel faux fur, with needle felted eyelids. Love the fur, it really suits her!

with beautiful handmade adornment on head

To make her more girlish, I made her a headband with matching color ribbons & adornments which is tied to her head and can be removed. 

Bunny Chiffon is now available for adoption on Bear Pile: http://www.bearpile.com/item/54017

Judy and HY (about 6"), altered from my previous creations

And this set of bear couple is altered from " The B Trio" to become a pair of wedding bears as requested. For the groom, a ribbon bow and three red beads are added to the body. While for the bride, beautiful laces are used to make the wedding gown and veil. Besides, their names and wedding date are embroidered on foot pads to commemorate the Happy Day (^O^)

A.W. (4"), a commissioned bear made from Schulte silk mohair

I'd also like to introduce A.W., this sweet little bear wears a light blue lace tutu and a yellow striped scarf, with initials embroidered on foot pads. I enjoy making such small sized bear that can be held in hand. Mostly, I make bears from mini (3") to medium (10") sizes, but I've just got a commissioned order of a 15 inches bear, a change for me. I placed an order of fabric for making it, can't wait to receive the fabric and start sewing!

Autumn bears

Tarocco and Morello, my autumn bears

Here are my autumn themed designs, Tarocco (left) and Morello (right). Have kept the two pieces of beautiful color mohair for a while, the colors are just so great for creating seasonal bears!

Tarocco (10.25")

Tarocco is made from orange nectar color tipped mohair. I tied a wired ribbon with pumpkin pattern around her neck in a bow, hope you like her : )

She is now available for adoption:

Morello (7.25")

Morello is made from autumn leaves color Japanese mohair, and he has been adopted. 

Hope you like this mixed color of maple in fall and enjoy the season : )

Christmas themed bears

Though I'm still working on autumn themed bears, I've finished three Christmas bears and they're delighted to say "Merry Christmas" (a bit early) to my blog readers.

Let's meet Rudolph, made from white string mohair, is inspired by a white Christmas. I needle felted his muzzle, nose & mouth, and named him Rudolph because of the big red nose. His ear pads are hand shaded in green, and he wears a big red bell around his neck. Besides, his paw pads are made from checkered cloth in matching colours.

Rudolph is about 10.25 inches tall.

Twinkle is made from white curled mohair & antique blue wavy kid mohair. I gave her eyes a bit of hand shading in blue as she’s a panda. Besides, I needle felted her muzzle, nose and mouth. Her paw pads are made from ivory wool felt and needle sculpted. She wears a crystal bell ornament from Swarovski to match the Christmas theme.

Twinkle is about 8.25 inches tall.

Holly, the Santa’s helper, is about 6.25 inches tall and 8.25” with hat. Besides yellow alpaca for head, red and green mohair is used to make him a Christmas themed bear. I needle felted his nose in brown with tiny holly on it to reinforce his image. He wears matching color embellishment around his neck and a red hat to complete his characteristic look.

Holly is about 6.25 inches tall and 8.25” with hat.

They are now available for adoption on my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/yuyubear

The B Trio, Lime Soda and a Wizard

Here are my new bears : Banana Daiquiri (back), Banana Milkshake (middle) & Banoffee (a felted chick), together as the B Trio are having fun riding on a bike like trolley and looking for a new home: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75432432/ooak-artist-bears-a-felted-chick-the-b


The bears are about 6" tall, both are made from yellow alpaca. For the boy, Banana Daiquiri, I used black alpaca for his body. For the sweet girl, white alpaca is used for her limbs. The cute chick, Banoffee is their best friend. It is needle felted and the little round noses of the bears are felted, too.

Lime Soda (about 8.5" tall) is a smaller version of Lollipop. Both are made from white alpaca and pink/green mohair. They have cute faces with round noses felted of wool in matching colors. Besides, their paw pads are made from cotton fabric with polka dots. They are looking for new moms: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75431337/ooak-artist-bear-lime-soda-by-yuyu-bear

I'd also like you to meet the Wizard. When I finished the bear and hand shaded his face, I decided to dress him as a wizard. So I made him a wizard hat and a cape in burgundy color to match the pink mohair. For the staff, I thought in the shape of mushrooms would be fun to make. Thus, he comes with a needle felted staff of mushrooms. I added a string to his hand so as to hold it in place. He's now available for adoption: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75429826/ooak-artist-bear-wizard-by-yuyu-bear
