Busy on a bear

I've been busy working on a new bear this week.  He is about 80% completed, just needs his body stuffed and ears attached.   I decided to try using tan colored leather that I recently bought for his pawpads.  I like the look and may continue to use it on future bears.  It gives a more realistic look and feel than ultrasuede.

I'll post full pictures once the bear is finished , and named :)
