Late afternoon.

It is raining, as it always does.  A steady patter of water strikes the windows and walls of the workshop.

Within the workshop, there is a bear.  And his bud.  Both are silent.

The bear sits and watches with intense concentration, completely fixated on the task at hand.  With every stitch, an object begins to take form.

The bear continues to watch.  It is coming closer to completion.

It is a hat.  His hat.

Finally it is done.  He leans over and examines the finished work.

Then, with a nod of satisfaction, he dons the Fedora hat.

He is now ready.

Thanks for making me a hat Nicholas!  This dapper bear is ready to play detective in LA Noir!
