I'm very excited as I started designing a 'Leo' inspired Teddy yesterday.  I'm not sure how it's going to go and will put some pictures out as soon as I have them.  For the time being all I have is the colour of the mohair which was the original inspiration.  

Buzz has been a great help being a model while I cut mane patterns around him and measure up a lion tail.

Also, trying out a lying down teddy - inspired by memories of a trip to a bear park with my scottish papa when I was a little girl.  I've cut it out in ivory at the moment as it will probably have more of a polar bear shape but this is a work in progress.
