Karohemd's World

While fooling around with a big teddy bear on Saturday (poor thing!) I realised that it made a perfect subject for experimenting with lighting, focussing, depth of field and so forth. A teddy bear sits still, doesn't complain when you put him in odd positions, doesn't need food or drink and has different interesting textures, too.

Anyone have one lying around gathering dust in the loft or know where I could get a cheap one? It doesn't have to be particularly nice but the bigger the better. I guess I'll have a look around the charity shops at one point.
