Teddy Wolf

Lobo the Mexican Gray (Teddy) Wolf was my very first award-winning teddy "bear" - he took the blue ribbon in the bear category at the 2004 Kansas State Fair. I was afraid he'd be disqualified for not being a bear.

Lobo is made from the Teddy Wolf pattern, with an inserted open mouth. His head was made entirely of felt, with a fur "sock" that slipped over the back and sides and was sewn down. His face was then needlefelted on, including a felted tongue, and teeth cut from white felt and needlefelted into the black felted gums. Tufts of wool were felted inside his ears. His pawpads (front and hind) are needlefelted as well.

Kathleen Morton (a/k/a Koneko No Arashi) modified Teddy Wolf to make plush version of a furry character: Outlaw.

As always, I'd love to see pictures of finished (or hey, in-progress) items, especially if I can post them here (or link to your page of pictures, whichever). And if you're selling them, or if you can be commissioned to make one, do let me know and I'll link to that, too.
