I have finished two more sketches. I have also done a little more to my first one. The fist pic I have called Tired Ted, the second is Tatty Ted & lastly Friends.

I haven't actually got the paint brush out much at the moment, 
although a few pieces have got base coats on them. 
But I have been doodling a pencil sketch, 
highlighted in places in watercolour.

Well the two ellies & bunny are finished, so now onto the painting I have promised myself I will be doing.
Hope you like.

Yesterday was very busy. Did some weeding, cut the grass, about an acre of it!!!! Each time I came in for a break put some paint (basecoats) to various items, so feeling very virteous this morning for having done so much. Not so nice today weather wise, so will probably do some housework & more painting in between. That is one good thing about painting, while I'm waiting for it to dry other things get done. With bear maikg it is too tempting to keep going until the bear is almost finished!!!!
Have a good one.

Have decided to give bear making a rest....just finish off a couple of ellies that are on the go at the moment, & a bunny, then I must start wealding a paint brush again!!!!!

I am trying really hard to sort my bears out. I have found the path I want to follow in as much how I want my bears to look.....I think. That is why I now have some going at ridiculous prices!!
I really like the primitive look, this has come from my painting, I believe. 
Anyway while sorting through my bears I have made use of a tall shelving unit in the dining room, my studio!!
Two photographs to follow. The first photo is of my little bears which now sport a little "handmadewith love" heart sewn, either to their body or cardigan. This will be their signature in the future.

My little prim bunnies, bears & an ellie. I have two new ellies cut out & ready to sew. Edward is looking a little out of place here but he has sat there since he received third place in the I/NTBAA awards last year.

Pictured are some bears that are now going at give away prices!!!!!
