Here I introduce to you my first stuffed bear I made with my bare hands (no pun intended XD), of course, following a template in a bear-making book whose author I can't seem to remember at this time. The book that I used was pretty good--only since it was for beginners, all the templates were for bears that were... lacking lower limbs, to be blunt. They were either stumps from the waist down covered conveniently by fabric, or some sort of monstrosity of legs that wouldn't let them sit ever in their life time--may some benevolent person put them out of their misery. This was one of the only templates that were at least pleasing to look at. D:

While making this bear, family would come up to me, pick up a partially stuffed head or an arm and say, "Oooh, a sloth?" "Lemur?" "Kitty?" "Ardvark?" My cousin took the arms and legs that had yet to be assembled, stick them together and start twirling it. Or he'd pick up the body and the head and stick one arm in it's position, then hold it up to my sister and say "I have leprosy." And its arm would fall off accordingly. It had become quite a different monstrosity.

Anyway, this bear cost a good sum of money to make in all--bought the fabric, fabric marker, a few needles, stuffing, beads for eyes, thread for nose, etc.etc. The feet are rather deformed.

And it looks anorexic.

Poor thing.

Here's a letter I wrote along with the bear, since it was a gift. It was inspired off of what I heard of Megatokyo. XD I'll keep this anonymous cuz I can. So there.

Dear Dood in question:

Good Evening Lord Dood in Question the Great. It is an honor to finally make thine acquaintance, for mine master, Lady Tammy the Not so Great has spent many a day in preparation for thou and my meeting. I art overjoyed, especially after hearing so many a great thing about thou. My Lady hath shared much about thou to I, and I feel unworthy to be given to thou under such unbecoming circumstances. For our meeting, it should be nothing less than a golden chariot with golden beasts to drive I forward! Alas, nothing I can do.

Though I come to thee as naught but a lowly creation, as I know my many faults, I prithee, do not blame mine lady. Though one ear is smaller than the next, though mine eyes appear to protrude more than necessary, though mine arms are that of a sloth, though mine feet resemble that of jester's shoes, though I lack a tail, though mine wings hang low on my back, though mine nose is both ill-aligned and poorly quilted, though mine head cannot look at the horizon, though a thread hangs from one of mine arms (poorly sewn), though mine symmetry is neither perfect nor acceptable, I present myself to thee with the earnestness of a seamstress with the needle skills of a pawless rat. Mine lady hath worked hard and diligently, and in her labors I breathe the precious breath of life.

And so, I hath come to thee. Welcome I with open arms. I declare thee mine new master.

Tammi, the Bear from Paradise
