Covered



Plucking,
staining,



and generally making lots of mess.
Possibly my favourite part of this process is the experimenting. I've discovered some new, improved and highly technological ways of ageing the mohair- sitting on a leg does wonders in terms of felting and squishing.
For more (sane) creatives spaces pop over here.

It's a Colin cousin! (I imagine hairy coverings is an occupational hazard)...

Do you ever accidentally leave the house covered in fluff?

This sort of creating and experimentation is what makes them all so original and different!
Looking good you clever thing!XX

But how can you tolerate the "OUCH!" cries as you pluck! It's the reason I stopped at making only one bear!

Michelle said...

All your bears have such character. I love his (or her, but bears always scream his to me) sweet face. Happy experimenting.

He's lovely, Jess, and I always get a kick out of seeing what goes into the making of a (dare I say it?)...wonkling.

I had to laugh at Cam's comment.

Experimenting is so much fun, I do it a lot when I get the dye pots out and it is just like being back at school but without supervision.

Catherine said...

I like your kind of technology, Jess! xo

Your funny Jess, your creative space is very creative and sane! : )

I thought the teddy bear sticker book would interest you... I bought it at Kikki K last week.

Enjoy your day lovely!! xx
