Introducing.......

Bailey! She didn't like being nekkid, so I made these bits of clothes for her.
She is my new offering at The Humble Arts for our Anniversary on March 1st. There will be door prizes, so go and sign up for the prizes you want, and you might be one of the lucky winners!





We got her done just in the nick of time, this is my very first bear, And I am extremely happy with her cute little face! I'm goung to try and make another one soon,but I'm going to try and add a gusset next time.
I think she needs just a bit more dimension on her side view, she'll look so much better with a nose job!
I do want to see what she'll look like in mohair, but I better not say that too loud I wouldn't want her to start putting on airs!
Blessings,Flora

Beary cute...

I've been working on a bear design and decided it was time to make it, of course I didn't have any mohair, but I did have vintage camel hair fabric and little " Bailey" was "born". I designed my own pattern so I guess she is an original girlie too!
Usually I try to make my creations as close to my drawings as possible, but as you can see "Bailey" decided otherwise. She can stand on her own with just a little positioning and I've made her jointed with cotter pins and discs at her neck ,shoulders and hips.I also needle felted the whites of her eyes with some cream wool roving, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but still I'm not sure I would want to make felted creations like my friend Teresa what a talented lady!
I'm also in the process of making a dress for her, her shoes are almost done as well, cause a little girlie needs something to protect her footsies...er... paws!
These are a few pic's of Bailey, from the start and in between.








All in all I'm pleased with her and I think she is a beary cute little bear.
Blessings,Flora
