HONEY BEAR in FILET CROCHET

Description

For those of use who love animals - in the wild and pets at home - we like to have reminders of them around us.

This doily is for a Bear Lover!!

I am one myself - having loved seeing them in zoos and in the wild (yes I have seen wild bears in U.S. forests)!!

So, I decided to crochet a picture of a Bear Head - I charted it out myself.

It is done in the technique of Filet Crochet.

The camel color I did it in -- it looks like a "Honey Bear"!

It is approximately 9 1/2 inches wide and 7 1/4 inches high, blocked and lightly starched.

You can put it on a table or dresser -- or you can frame it on some kind of background (usually felt, flannel or velvet in a contrasting color).

*********************************************************
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SPECIAL NOTE HERE OF THE PEOPLE AND GROUPS WHO WORK TO PROTECT THESE WONDERFUL ANIMALS (THE WILD BEARS!!) WHOSE HABITAT HAS BECOME SO FRAGMENTED AND THREATENED -- BEARS NEED LARGE AREAS TO LIVE IN TO SURVIVE.

SPECIFICALLY, THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE WORLD, IS WORKING TO PROTECT THIS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING TYPE OF HABITAT. CHECK OUT WHERE THEY ARE WORKING IN MONTANA TO HELP SUPPORT PROTECTION FOR THE GRIZZLY BEARS!!:
