Polar Bear

11" x 20" x 8"

People collect all sorts of things. Some people collect polar bears. I was asked to build one for such a person. They requested that its head be able to move up and down, so I also provided for that feature. As requested, it is modeled after the DUPLO(R) polar bear.

This project made me very happy and euphoric while I was working. However, at certain points, it became very difficult and I become quite sad. Later, I returned to a manic state of elation as I neared the finish. But when it was done, I felt depressed that it was over. I call this project my bipolar bear.
