While looking for a vintage coffee tin, in the mobile home where a lot of my craft stuff is stored, I found these few pieces that I painted a while back. Still haven't found the coffee tin though!!!!

                                                                 

Handpainted china thimbles

Handturned & handpainted lace bobbins

Vintage cuff links case with handpainted gingerbread face.

And inside a new pendant necklace.

A new bear for you, made from a Rosemary Frew of Luvly Bears,

pattern

Just a couple of pics of my other craft. An enamel coffee pot painted in the narrowboat style & some blue/white. A little milk jug & two handmade shovels.
Underneath the paint they are copper & brass. 

Some new bears for you. The first two are Malachi & Finbar, from my favourite pattern.
The next two are from a Vivianne Galli pattern, which I am very pleased with. As yet they are unnamed!!!

Not done any blogging for a bit, been too busy making bears & painting. Did a couple of craft shows, one Bank Holiday monday & one at the weekend. Eleven bears adopted between those two shows, okay so most were half price bears, but I'm slowly making room for the type of bear I want to continue with!!!! Below are some of those who found their new forever homes.

 

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.
