Brown bear cub - WIP

I have just finished the shading on my brown bear cub face. I have to say, I am mighty pleased with him! It has taken me the best part of two afternoons only to root the beige alpaca fur into the needle felted muzzle. Sometimes I think I must be crazy to do such a thing as this, but when I see the result I reconcile myself to the idea of the long hours....
Here is the face.

Isn't he precious? I just hope his mummy will also appreciate him as he is a commission!
