Mama says these look more like rats than bears! I say it's just been a rough winter and the pickin's in the forest are slim! These are my attempts at Clifford the Potbellied Bear by Jerry Reinhardt which appeared in another publication not to be named herein. His project was on a 3" x 3" x 7-1/4" piece of wood. I used 2" x 2" x 4-3/4" pieces of basswood and very quickly ran out of room for detail. It's finished with an acrylic wash and sealed with a mixture of water based old age varnish and matte polyurethane.

Re: You Dirty Rat You...
Well Eddy, when I read the post title I thought, gangster. When I opened the post and saw the photo, I tried to relate "you dirty rat", gangster, to bears. So I must have seen them as bears not rats. They are diffently bears. And fun little bears at that, and well carved too...

Re: You Dirty Rat You...
eddy,
I"m not too sure but .....I'm wondern if women can really see bears that are carved ....it might be something about bad eyes......reason I think this is.... I too carved a bear it looked like a bear ...looked like it was running like a bear ...same color as a bear...it was suppose to be a bear....this gal at the place where I carve on mondays with a bunch of carvers said to me.........nice looking dog........sure let the wind out of my sails.

I'd say definitely "blond phase" black bears. Grizzlies, of course, would have a more dished in face. :-)Comment

Re: You Dirty Rat You...
Hi Eddy,
I think you did Clifford justice. They could be modified to be rats by making the head smaller, ears bigger, nose narrower, fur smoother, legs thinner, tail longer, color grayer. LOL.Comment

Re: You Dirty Rat You...
You don't need to watch Sienfeld for a man bra. The Japanese are selling them on the open market. Supposedly it's a big thing in Japan this year.
