The title may seem confusing if you haven't read the last two posts because the first little bear is not green at all. She is all ivory white and is in my conceptualization of this project the mother in number 2 as a child in the arctic. She is hand stitched from wool felt with embroidered details and stuffed with wool roving. Her wooly coat was knit in one piece on sock needles with suri alpaca yarn ( sooo soft) and is removable. Her iceberg was made in the same fashion as the one for the mother bear and it larger . 
I am having way to much fun photographing these bears and icebergs. The knitted trees are something I made last winter , my own designs , and I noticed them on my bookshelf and thought they wood look great in the photographs although I know trees like that don't grow in the arctic. Tomorrow I will be back with the last plush for the show. I had better go warm up , all that ice and snow has given me the shivers.
Your blowing me away with this project. I'm so impressed with how you conceptualized it and then began in the middle. It's such a fresh new way to view something too...as a reader, I'm loving your process. I loved seeing the baby green bear first...it gave a different emotional charge to viewing the "baby" mother just now, than if I had seen her first. Once again your details are lovely and the photo shoot looks like so much fun. Great little trees and I love all of these removable coats!

I just read your last 3 posts and love this. The mama bear with the green trim jacket is so cute! Your concept is fantastic. I loved hearing your creative process. And as cute as all the stuffies are, the most fascinating part to me was how you solved the shape-making of your ice caps. Very clever. I look forward to the next one. :>

Dear Margie,
You are absolutely amazing and I am so impressed with your latest creations. I LOVE the project that you're making for Plush You and I am sure that it will be a big success. It has been a treat to sit down tonight and catch up with your blog. I am in the middle of a very busy time with so much going on over here. Reading your blog has been therapeutic to me and I want to thank you for that. Keep up with the great job my friend!
And all the best for you and the rest of the family!
