Nestor

I was in the mood to make a big bear again, it was , again so different, now that I made all these smaller ones.
This suddenly looked like a giant heap of mohair under my hands   :)
I love the colours
I love the brightness of the blue I used for the paw and feet pads.

I like making mini bears

 I could not resist, making this photoshoot, before they move out.
The one with the orange fur and small eyes is still available.
They are all 4" and hand stitched. And jointed :)

crochet and some new critters

love to crochet dresses for my bears.
I never work with a pattern, just begin with a circle and move on,increase decrease, double crochet , single crochet is all you need to know. And crochet as you go :)
Then I try it on the bears, and then I can make a bear of the same pattern,in the right colour to match this dress.


Tattum and Witte, where  my models here. Tomorrow Tattum travels to Austria, but now I know, that I can use his pattern to fit this dress.
And Witte is still looking for a home to stay, she is not yet adopted, such a sweet kitten .






Some of my newest critters, I hope they will accompany me to Brighton next weekend

In progress

I keep myself busy during the evenings, Unfortunately I am to busy illustrating during the day.
So work goes very slow for the bears.
And I have so many characters in my head.
Well they will all have to wait;
 Pinkman allmost finished
 And 2 bunnies, far from finished

 Pinkman is fully stitched by hand (that does not speed things up, but I love it)
A kitten order. I finished her tonight, crocheted her a jumper and a scarf, and new eyes, because these(on the picture) where to small.
