These Bears are totally made from Pine needles - in fact,
a couple hundred thousand of them! The pine needles were
gathered off the ground, sorted, washed, trimmed, and then
hand woven. It took over 8 months to make these life-size bears.

"Little Bear Innocence' the cub To make a living,
the artist also carves antlers and other materials
such as moose, deer, and elk horns, wood, ivory and more!

Nothing goes to waste. The artist uses every little
scrap material, like this motorcycle, it's under 2 1/2 inches
in length. He used 17 different materials to make it. Some of
the materials are walrus ivory, ironwood, water buffalo horn,
moose antler, silver, rhinestones, shells, metal, plastic,
rubber, and more. The wheels and handle bars turn, too!
