This one came out much better. Instead of a weird brown mouth with an orange nose, this little guy looks like a polar bear! I used a little bit of pale yellow for the mouth area, and brown for the nose. If you think about it, a polar bear’s snout is actually white, but kind of discolored, so the pale yellow works. I really like this guy a lot better than the first one. Lol I still can’t find my pom-pom makers though so there’s not one on the hat.
