I've been in hibernation - have been stuck in bed sick for a week, so I haven't had a chance to do anything fun much less update this blog. Here is a bear I made for my brand new bubby niece who was born in February. The acrylic fur was really soft and plush and I had to use plastic joints and eyes (for safety), which I really dislike using for bears - wooden joints, mohair and glass eyes I much prefer but I'd rather my niece was safe and gets to play with her new bear when she's a bit older. The picture in the background is by Carla Sonheim - beautiful! - and was for my niece too (with some other crafty projects that I'll find pictures of later) - the picture now hangs in her nursery. Now back to hibernation for me til I've got some more oomph to get back into life...
