I am assuming these antlers are off the forest floor. You must have a great deal of patience. I am so surprised it only took you 8 months to put together such a large bear. Kudos and keep up the wonderful work. Might show some of that around Northern Minnesota, especially the bears. Magnificent work, Richard. I am assuming these antlers are off the forest floor.

I collect bears and only bears are allowed in my house. I have been counting and photographing for 5 years to get into the Guinness Book or World Records and am finally almost done. I would love to have one of your pine needle bears in my collection. You have done really extraordinary work and what a wonderful way to recycle. Keep up the great work and let your creative juices keep flowing. Bye the way Thomas is wrong about bears being dastardly etc. We encroach on their territory and burn down their habitate, not the other way around. They are not a threat to our way of life, we are a threat to them. Anyway, Richard they are wonderful. Thanks for the treat of seeing exceptional artistry. Your bears are just beautiful.

I visited the Grand nationals rodeo a couple months back in San Fran and saw an artists work being featured there, he worked with driftwood! there was a life sized Grizzly bear, a life sized Bull, and a couple others. I picked up a card and his name is Matt Torrens, www.matttorrens.com really worth a peek if you liked this.
