Here is my final entry in the PLUSH YOU 2008 show in Seattle opening October 10th. If you have been following along this week you will know that this is the last one in the series of three and is the one where the little green cub born to the white mother has grown up and has seen the dramatic effects of global warming on the polar ice and the arctic environment. His iceberg that his mother so carefully used to place him on to play has melted and all that remains is a very small patch on snow and ice on the tundra.
He was made from all natural materials in the same way as the first white bear with a removable hand knit woolen suit. His platform is a hand felted stone from Nova Scotia . I used the wet felting technique blogged about in the tutorial about felting easter eggs. I added the melted iceberg details with needle felting. This little guy really melted my heart when he was finished . I hope he does the same to yours. 
I will be taking a few more pictures and then packing them carefully in a box to send them to Seattle.
They are just beautiful, I love the story too. (Don't like Global Warming though, just clarifying)
They are beautifully made. I especially like the trees, they belong 'on set' for the photo shoot.
I hope someone buys them as a set (I wish I could).

Margie the whole series brought tears to my eyes. It expresses so beautifully what is happening to the ice cap and polar bears.
The materials used seem so appropriate but the thought you have put in really shines.
I am so proud of you and your entry!

I'm so proud to know you...even if it's just in the blogospere. Your every effort to illustrate the polar bear crisis and global warming and attention to the smallest details of your entry are breathtaking. A job so well done, Margie. Must be hard to let them go...but so exciting too!

I think what you did is great. first of all - it's absolutely beautiful, and it keeps people aware to global warming.
thank you
