A bear in the works

I have been working on a new mink bear this week from a new pattern that I drew up last week.
I am really happy with the way it is turning out. It always makes me chuckle though, no matter how I change a pattern the bears still look very similar. I guess that has a lot to do with the way I finish the face :)

I had hoped to have it completed by now, but I've been feeling a bit unwell for a couple of days. With any luck I'll get him/her completed soon.
