Oh man, this bear! It's from my childhood, made by the daughter of a family friend to hold any newly-orphaned baby teeth for ease of Tooth Fairy pickup. I knew it was creepy even back then, but I love it so.

Painting it was a challenge, mostly because I lost my mind and couldn't figure out how to paint mint-green fabric under warm light. But I got it eventually, and while it's not perfect, I'm pretty pleased with it.
