it was all a blur here this morning
Funny to think I've been making these little bears and animals for- well, forever now. It's been 12 or 22 years depending on how you add them up (when I quit all other pursuits to sew or when I first began making and selling them). Either way you count it, it's been a long time and in all these years I've never really had a muse. I was driven by the love of the process, material, and heritage of the craft, but now... Now I have my muse and it makes everything I make so much more powerful and imbued with purpose. Often, like this morning I bring one of my newest pieces up for Claude's inspection. This new pattern, inspired by Claude's physique (teehee), was greeted this morning- Hurarah for the new bear in the house Haha!... He ran in circles holding him up. I think he's gotten Claude's stamp of approval. I should have an actual stamp for that?!

CLAUDE BEAR!
ReplyDeleteYeah I guess now you will have to get an "inspected by" label like they put in clothing. then everyone will know they have his seal of approval. But once in his hands how do you ever get them away?
ReplyDeleteSo darling! What fun to have a helper who squeals with delight at your creations and dances around the room with them! :o) You may have to implement a policy in the future: one for Claude, one to sell, one for Claude...
ReplyDeletejust wanted to let you know that something lovely happened to me today…I found your blog…delightful
ReplyDeleteI Love the idea of putting in a note/stamp approved by Claude. Or maybe Claudes Choice
ReplyDeleteClaude is so darling and so is the Claude approved bear!
Looks like someone will be making his own bears very soon. Indeed.
