My creative space


Two bears in progress, an earless guy ( who will get ears very soon) inspired by my old bear Gus,(who is part of my collection NOT i bear I've made I don't think I could ever make something that beautiful)  who I haven't made as much progress on as I had hoped, due to lack of time, and too much bear head agonising and obsessing  and also the fact that I stuff some of my "antique" style bears with the strawy stuff : excelesior which takes longer to stuff properly  and is very messy but I really love the results. Also I do admit that I love a project that takes a long time, I love to obsess and walk around a bear head to see it in all different lights.
Also a new little amigurumi bear I'm working on, I'm stepping out a bit for me and doing a three toned bear, and using the reverse side.
Also a pin cushion that someone very special made and gave to me.
this may all change later today as I've just gotten 2 Peabody orders, and so I'm a bit thrown in to a bit of confusion about what to do.

I just love your bears...If they would last longer then a minute in this house I would want one haha...Between the dog and the little one I am afraid it wouldn't stand a chance...Maybe I will have to settle for a drawing haha

Good on you for pushing yourself Jess. I can't wait to see 3 tone.

I so relate to walking around with your current project watching it in different lights.

I like the idea of walking all around a bear head, contemplating it. What a great process!

Such a cozy and sweet creative space! Your bears are so amazing. I hadn't even heard of that straw stuffing until I read your post - is it more suitable for fur-softies (as opposed to fabric-softies?)

I can totally relate to the part where you said :"I love to obsess and walk around a bear head to see it in all different lights". I do that too! :-)

Happy Friday!

I have to say, amigurumi bears would be just the cutest things. Can't wait to see this new one.
