Shows and Orders

I am sorry I have not been blogging or posting any bears--finished or in progress for quite a while. I have just finished an online class in curriculum developmment which I needed to take to renew my teaching license and it was quite the time eater! It was a fabulous class and I learned a great deal I will use my teaching, but now I feel so behind with my bears. I always am at this time of year it seems, but now more than ever. I made the difficult decision to cancel my table at the Hunt Valley show because I knew there was no way I could fill a table. I will miss seeing the lovely collectors at that wonderful show as well as the chance to see my artist friends, but I plan to be back there next year.

I have been working on orders and bears for the online show at www.teddiesworldwide.com. which is just four weeks away! I have three bears and a cat in progress at the moment, and a head full of ideas as always. Two of these were started before I left for Hawaii in August!





Here are a pair of special commission bears I finished last month before my online class began. These fellows are similar to one another with variations in  paw and nose color, and one has a larger tummy than the other. Both are made from a larger pattern than the last fellow I made with this fur, and both offer great BIG hugs!
