Back in November, at the Mittagong Doll And Bear Fair Melissa Kemp from The Art Of Teddy Bears gave me a couple of pieces of Belgian plush to try out. I have just finished this gorgeous little polar bear (Nanou)and he's the sample for my two, one-day workshops which will be held on Friday and Saturday before the Sydney Teddy Bear Fair. It was quite different working with this plush, it trims beautifully and the bear looks really chubby because it's extremely dense and oh so soft! If you're in Sydney or are planning to be there for the show, perhaps you'd like to join me for a little workshop fun? If you're interested contact Melissa, I'm sure she'd love to hear from you :o)
He is the cutest!!
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, what a nice bear.

he's really furry, like the expression over the bear's muzzle, rounded and full, just like baby's face :)

ReplyDeleteAww, such a gorgeous wee guy! I'd love to come back to Oz one day, I may just have to make my trip coincide with one of your workshops!

ReplyDeleteThankyou all for your lovely comments. I'm now working on another in the other colour Mel gave me, he's looking real special with something new to show you when he's done ;o)
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous. Was it difficult to sew such dense plush?
