WIP Bear He needs a name

 

Hello dear friends and readers...   It has been busy here at home, I even planted some stocks last a few weeks ago.. 

 I have been working on this bear for a about three days now,  and ordinarily when I put their eyes in they tell me who they are... I used glass beads, and  hand painted.... For the life of me I cannot come up with a good name..  So it is my hope that you will help me with suggestions... It really would be appreciated..

 

As you can see, his core coat is a natural white, firmly needled felted...

 Now comes the second coat.. With this I take a piece, twist it in the middle and needle felt it into his core coat..  Then I scissor cut..  I may still make a few changes on his face... He has quite the large nose...  I like his eyes, but may do some more scissor cutting on his fur.. For now,  I will leave that part alone... Need to work my way down his body...  He is on a wire armature....

 I will make his paws separate and then attach..

 

 

This is my old boy, Jasper... He has had a rough week and a half.. Was in the hospital for 3 days with a back issue..  As you can see he is resting... A lot of snoring going on... Have to keep him quiet for 10 days..  Easier said than done.. .But he is doing much better..  Usually on my lap, or next to me..

 

 

 

Here are the stocks I planted about 9 days ago... Come spring they should be full and just beautiful.

 

 

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for always taking time to come and visit. Your heartfelt words bring a smile.

I truly appreciate it, as I know we all have so much to do that is not computer related...

Bless you,

Penny

Hello dear friends ....  I have missed you ...  Ready to start a new year..  I have so much I would like to accomplish this year,  but.....  I will take each day as it comes, count my blessings, especially my two grown children and grandchild.. Take time to smell the roses, and get~ out and about more~. I plan to spend more time in Temecula at the community Theatre.. 

  I know you will understand when I say...... I find that when I am involved in creating I have no clue that 3 or 4 hours have gone by...  Did I forget to eat?  Did Jasper and Zoe get their lunch?  Well,  to be truthful,  Jasper always gets his lunch...  If I am busy,  he just runs  in the kitchen and KICKS the trash can... Yes,  not his food bowl, which would makes sense,  the trash can.

What can I say,   I just love him... and little Zoe... She is my quiet one..

 

 

 

Back to Cordelia the Cat....  I needle felted her over an armature so she could be gently posed.  You may notice her leg in the last photo is straight, and the photo above it is bent.  Her hands... I had a dickens of a time getting her hands to stay put on the handle bars, so I closed her fists.. Now you can slip the handlebar right through the middle of her hand and she holds on tight... 

 

The Mice......Simon, Esther and baby Stuart (in the basket)  were needle felted without an armature..

All the clothes are felt and were hand sewn by me..

If you would like to visit her auction my Ebay link is on my sidebar at the top of the page.

The little red bike... Don't you just love it?  I found it at my favorite Thrift store in town. As soon as it caught my eye, I knew what I wanted to do with it.

 

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year..  Full of love, laughter and must not forget Magic!
