The making of Murphy Bear shakers... by non other than..... famous shaker-maker... drum roll please.... Tommy the fantastic !!!!!!
images so perfectly matched, sanded and sealed...
the adding of the fringe.......
almost finished.....
Long nites and early mornings are on the agenda this week... These little lovelies are anxious for the party to begin.. they're hoping that someone will remember the candy corn and the dove chocolates..
I can hardly comprehend where the summer has gone, and now we are galloping into fall.. What better way to celebrate than to be getting ready for my favorite show of the year.. For those of you that arent aware of this show(How can that possibly be), you must check out the fantastic lineup of very talented artists that will be in Michigan next weekend for the Ghoultide Gathering Show. These little fellas I conjured up whilst traveling on those long trips back and forth to Minneapolis.. Something nice about needle felting...very portable. They make me smile...
For those who know me well, you must know that tiny bears (which I love) are not easy for me...that said, when I found these sweet litle vintage sandpails, I knew that I must forge ahead to make little fellas... I will keep you updated on their development...
Making bears for children can be so much fun..they're squishy and just so sweet. This one is going to a friend of mine who's grandson is just the right age for a hugable little bear.. I dont know why I put these things off for so long... at any rate, I hope he likes it....
