Cheerful Waving Winter Bear

A roly-poly bear throwing a friendly wave, snapped mid-greeting. This is a plump, upright cartoon bear with a broad grin, rounded ears and a soft, huggable belly. One paw is raised high in a wave while the other rests at its side, and a chunky knitted scarf is looped around its neck, the fabric tail flopping forward with a small woven tag detail. The carve leans into gentle, cuddly volumes rather than sharp edges, so the fur reads as brushed strokes over rounded muscle and the face keeps that soft, approachable warmth. It makes a charming standalone figure for a child's shelf, a winter-themed mantel display or a novelty gift, and the pose gives it real personality from every angle. Sculpted fully in the round, it also works scaled up as a garden or porch mascot. Print notes: • Prints cleanest standing vertically; the raised arm and scarf tail will want light supports underneath. • For a carved-wood version, a 3-axis roughing pass plus a fine ball-nose finishing pass captures the fur texture without fuzz. • Slightly soften the layer lines with a light sand and primer if you plan to paint the scarf a contrast colour. • Scale to roughly 120-200 mm tall for a satisfying desktop presence.
