 I wish I could say this idea was totally mine, but I've seen a picture of an inside-out teddy bear somewhere before and that is what I thought of when I read the challenge title.

So I just went to a local thrift shop to buy a couple stuffed animals so I could tear them apart. It felt really weird ripping into the back of the teddy bear's head with a knife! So I turned them inside out, re-stuffed them, and sewed them back up. It was fun (though kind of messy). :)

I decided just to use the one teddy. I don't know how much I like the black background, though.... I also think it might be a little bit blurry...? :/

Hey, you say in the descrip. that you think it might be a little bit blurry, but I think it works for the mood of this pic. The black makes him look very lonely. There was another inside-out teddy pic in the comp. that was surrounded by other "normal" bears, and I think I like the way they filled the frame better, but at least it looks like your velvet is working! :) Would you believe this is also the first thing I thought of? Didn't enter this round, though.

Really cute concept and lovely pose! Just a bit "fuzzy", wuzzy? (the focus is off a bit);)

Poor Fuzzy Wuzzy. I like the soft focus.
