Hopefully i will have another bear to add in a few days (fingers crossed).

Bigger bear

I thought i would show you all a picture of a bigger bear i made. He is made from a lovely soft synthetic fur and is 13". He has a scissor-sculpted face like my miniature bears have and i added upper and lower eyelids to his eyes.

It is not very often that i make a bigger bear and i had so much fun making this fella but now my fingers are itching to make a miniature bear.

Here she is

This is the little bear that i showed you on my last post and i have named her Petal.

If you would like more details on Petal then you can see her on my website.

Working on now

This is the little bear i am working on at the moment, as you can see i think it will probably be a little girl. I will be dressing her but yet to know what in. Most of my bears aren't dressed so i thought it was about time i did a few. I will post pictures of her when she is finished and i hope that you enjoy them.

This is Flibert who is just over 3" and is now happy living in his new home, i had so much fun making this little guy.

Welcome to my blog

I have finally created my blog so you can see what i am working on and what i have available.
I have been making bears for about 7 years and decided to concentrate on the miniature bears about 2 years ago.
I hope you enjoy your stay here and have as much fun reading as i have creating this blog and the bears.
Hugs
Vicki
