DARBY AND CRIMPLE


DARBY

It has been a really hot few days, which is not ideal bear making weather, but as I am totally addicted to bear making, it will take more than a heatwave to stop me LOL!!!  but if I was to be totally honest the stuffing of a big 23 inch bear in the mid day heat, did make me wonder about my sanity :-)

Well my suffering was not for nothing, and I managed to create two Toy-Box Treasures.

The first was was Darby a big handsome boy, who is 23 inches tall, with beautiful amber glass eyes.  He is made from an antique gold, mohair.  Darby is a little different to my usual traditional bears as I normally remove all the fur from the muzzle, but I decided only to remove a little fur this time to give him a softer look to his face and also applied brown airbrushed shading, which shows off his lovely amber eyes a treat.



CRIMPLE



I have just loved making Crimple with his long goldilocks looking mohair, he looks and feels such a wholesome bear and has such an innocent look about him.  Crimple is 16 inches tall and one of a kind.  Both Darby and Crimple are now looking for loving homes.



BEST BUDDIES DARBY AND CRIMPLE

I am now going to get myself a long cool drink.

TEA ANYONE???

I took a little break from my orders this last weekend and had a little fun playing around with my Urchin pattern and a pattern I used many years ago to create extra large headed bears.  I thought you might like to see what I have created.  They are called Teacakes and are 9 inches tall.  I have had so much fun playing around with these little ones that I am now in the process of making ones in hand dyed mohair called Cupcakes.

TEACAKES

A WEEK OF PINK

It has been a very pink week this last week, nearly every bear I have made has either been made from a pink mohair or is wearing pink.  So I am going to make a really big effort next week and use another colour, but don't be too surprised if I stray back onto the pink LOL!!

Here are a few pictures of my pink creations, I hope you like them.

SUGAR CANDY - 16 inch Urchin




POPPY - 8 inch Urchin
(This little girl is a commissioned bear who is made from a hand dyed pale pink viscose and a matching pink cashmere fabric)


FLEUR 12 inch Dolly Doo.

Fleur is my latest Dolly Doo who is looking for a loving home.  She promises to comb her hair everyday.




This is a sneaky little peep at one of my new bears from a pattern re-visited.  This little bear is from my Teacakes and Cupcakes range.


Well I am off to sort through my new delivery of scrumptious mohair, can't wait to get sewing as I have some new wonderful and colourful mohairs to play with :-)

Wishing you all a super weekend ahead.
