What was your inspiration?

My Grandfather's nick name was Teddy and I just love teddy bears.

What are you most proud of?

Adding the happy smiling face makes me so happy! I love it!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure not to over stuff your bear. When adding your stuffing to give more features. Tuck small amounts of stuffing along the side of the face and above the eyes. This will help form cheeks and a forehead.
