...another bear in hand...

**** now finished and grown old ****

today on the table- all light and a little dog...

another old worn bear... in the works

.. hand dyed vintage bluegreen mohair- all worn and growing older- today in the studio..

two small and alike, but so different

these two are growing older and older and today- older still

in hand

It's been ages since I last made these really small old worn bears*. Their arms and legs are so tiny and I'd forgotten how tricky it was to sew and turn them... but the outcome always pleases me. So today- I'm making two- I'd hoped to get three out of a ridiculously small pieces of hand dyed mohair- and after Id drawn all the pieces (even piecing a single leg to make it all fit) I realized I was 2 arms short. Three bears and only two sets of arms- that just won't do, so only two very little one-of-a-kind-old-worn-bears in the works- and coming along quite nicely too! I'll post progress tomorrow...

*for this type of bear I just draw out the pieces on the fabric without a pattern- making each bear totally unique and one-of-a-kind. I spend lots of time pulling out fur and aging each piece so that it feels like it's been around for a lifetime...

MEOW

bunny feet and a cotton tail

I'm crazy for this bunny- I made him just to fit into this old outfit and there is just something about his lanky body and long feet that kinda kill me...
