Sorry, everyone. I know I just posted a micropasta in here, but things are slow, I'm waiting for review on another work, and I had this idea that I knew I had to get down. Hope you enjoy.

I made a teddy bear for my daughter.

I used all natural, authentic materials. The fur was real brown bear fur. The stuffing was woven from even more fur from the same bear. To make it feel authentic, I used the skin from the bear as the body of the doll, and used a makeshift skeleton fashioned from bones from the bear to hold the arms and legs in place from inside. To make it look authentic, I used the eyes of the bear, and added teeny tiny claws, clipped from the paws of the bear. The nose was difficult, but doable, once I reduced its size. That was... kind of a bloody mess.

But it was worth it. Mariella is happy. Overjoyed, in fact, with the toy I made for her. I don't think there's any better feeling in the world than the appreciation of your only kid.

I just hope she shows the same admiration for the baby doll I'm making for her.
