Josephine, ready to fright!

I haven't made a Lil' Spook in awhile, I was actually making a little panda bear, when I thought, "you'd look much better with fangs and wings" and so...Josephine was born! The name....it just came to me, there is no reference to any Vampirey characters as far as I know....she was not really planned, more one of those creations that just happens for some reason....lol

Here is the link for more details about adopting her.. http://www.bearpile.com/detail.cgi?id=1314&item=36802 My next bear is a planned fairy. ...pink, glitter, sparkle and frill....I miss it after making...two or three normal bears lol ;)

A new Baby Boy!!

Here is little Bobby, a new little baby boy bear. He is 4 inches tall and made with Sassy mini plush, it was interesting working with another fabric, but I'm quite happy with the results and will probably buy some more colours and styles to experiment with. And I will have to make a baby girl bear too :) Here is his link on bear pile, thanks for looking :) http://www.bearpile.com/detail.cgi?id=1314&item=36740

Raindrops on roses...

Its that time of year again, when I breath a sigh of relief that the summer is over! The garden also comes back to life in a somewhat spingtime form, enjoying the coolness after the crisping heat of summer. Life is good again! A friendly parrot stopped by to tell us so :)
I love coming outside after a rain to find silvery raindrops on all the roses and foliage, its a magical feel to be in a glistening garden, breathing in the cool sweet air after the harsh South Australian summer.

Inviting you into my studio.....

I thought it would be nice to share some photos of the place where I create my little bears and critters. I've decorated it in a fairy woodland theme, and it not only inspires me, but I also find it a relaxing place to drink a cup of tea, or even do my mediation and yoga. My little butterfly dog loves it too, his favourite place is peeking through the curtains at the street outside, he has his special little toy box too and it still amazes me how many of those toys he will pull out in a day to play with :) If you'd like to see more photos from my studio, click here for to see my flickr album. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22313200@N02/sets/72157623763271839/

Mei on Bear Pile

Here is little Mei! Listed on Bear Pile she is 4 inches tall and made from hand dyed mohair in shades of plum. I have also hand painted her eyes in a gorgeous plum with shimmer highlights. Thanks for looking!! Click to see her on Bear Pile!

Little Pip on Bear Pile

Here is a new Bearykin, available to adopt on Bear Pile, his name is Pip, after my little dog Pippin. Somebody told me that my bears look a lot like my dogs little face, I suppose I'm not the only artist with a furkid to be inspired by their little bundle of fluff :) Funnily enough, years ago, our only family dogs were Jack Russells and until I adopted my little boy Papillon 2 years ago, I used to make bears with much longer muzzles and smaller eyes. I have often wondered over the last year why I changed my style from bears that look older in age, to much younger baby cute bears.....now I realise my little Pippin pooch is to blame :) I love making wee babe bearykins though and really think the change did my creative spirit good, thank you Pippin :)

Playing around with slideshows.....

and having lots of fun :) I hope I've left enough space inbetween slideshows, I must say, I got a teensy bit woozy watching them side by side lol.
