I'm still here

It's been ages since my last post and I feel as if I have been on another planet. Sam here was born some time ago but I have not had the time to show him. There are a few bears and nik nax that have been completed and I'll show them soon.

Sam's a very darling little mohair cub and loves kisses and cuddles. He's been a bit lonely so I made him a friend, Dinky, who will be shown in the next few days. At this particular time in my life, which is very, very stressful, the bears are so therapeutic and when I look at their little faces, the problems are not so awful.

Enjoy the rest of the week!

ZONKEY

This amazing animal is a cross between a Donkey and a Zebra. I met her wondering around a resort we visited some time ago. Unfortunately she is sterile and there can be no other little Zonkeys.

A wee Scottish lass

Little Nancy has been adopted and will be living in Scotland. I wanted to dress her warmly but she was adamant that she wanted the vintage silk and lace ribbons. A little silver heart is pinned to her ribbons and she wears tiny velvet vintage flowers on her ear. She has a German mohair coat (very fancy, our Nancy) and her footpads are pale pink velvet. Nancy has been "aged" to look like a vintage bunny from an old toy box. Although the bears love their bunny friends, they are all celebrating that their little friend has found a new home. Let's all wish her BON VOYAGE!

Thank you!

To all the amazing artists out there ... I wish I could send flowers to all of you. You are ny inspiration and my crutch. Thank you.

Tom the Bear

Tom, my newst Southern Bear - 10" tall, standing. This lovely picture was taken by my friend Elena of the Paper Daisy Company. Tom has a fat little tummy and is very cuddly.
