alright so my brother got train tickets to way out and i got to see a friend. but since its gonna be a ride for several hours too and back, i should pack a few handfuls of raw wool to then build a base form around a shape. debated for a while on what pose the bear is to be in but i ended going with a sitting- its a good stable form that wouldnt topple. gonna go for a style similar to the weird wonderful patterns of whatever how it was with the bison and horse.
i was wondering for if i hould just keep the bear sitting, to show a poised disciplined bear. or if to show eating to symbolize indulgence. compromised with with having a salmon that isnt attached by the fibers, to just sorta have it where bear holds onto fish tucked in.
now that i got the meat shaped out i can start putting the skin on. each claw one at a time. paw pads included.
now its for assembling the limbs, head, collar and shoulder on.
now for fishie salmon. extra effort for all the fins.
stab counter- 260.
much like horse and bison i didnr bother taking bear outside. would be fair to only let bear see the world while the others are shut inside.
the helix patern on the back was peeving me off for not being symmetrical but hey whatever its organic its hand made.
the little dot spot on the nose is my blood after a particular tough stabbing at the very end.
good morning good night good bye
