Life imitates art

While studying my WIP bear today, nose & mouth stitched in place but still without eyes, a disturbing movie character came to mind, and I had to -- HAD TO -- create it in plush. Just for a moment.

If, like me, you've seen Guillermo del Toro's dark, Spanish-language 2006 fantasy Pan's Labyrinth, you'll know exactly which character I mean. Scary!
