Here's Yu-Mi with some of her latest creations. A clever, patient little cub, she's been learning to do origami. It's tricky when your paws are so small, but all the same, she's getting very good at it, as you can see.
Still, as she'll be the first to tell you, she has a long way to go before she's a black-belt!

Yu-Mi is made from ivory German mohair, and has been hand-shaded and scissor-sculpted to bring out her cute features. Her nose is embroidered with perle cotton, and she has black glass eyes. She's filled with steel shot and polyfill, which gives her a lifelike, weighty feel. She has a cotter-pin joint for her head, and her arms and legs are thread jointed, for lots of posing possibilities. Her paw-pads have been handpainted. Standing (which she can do all by herself), she's approximately 5" tall (not counting her topknot).

Yu-Mi is a "1 of 1" artist bear - none of my bears are exactly the same, as they are all hand-stitched and have their own unique character.
