My creative space





Meet Marty ( bear bits from last week). Since Posswonk was missing Colin, I thought perhaps Colin's brother might be a bit of comfort.
Marty's a gentle and sensitive bear, but strong too. It's funny a while ago I was talking about my bears and how the divide into two personality groups- the crazy and the gentle ones, to someone, and they thought gentle meant boring. I was surprised by that, and it's not the way I feel, I think gentle is a lovely quality to have, especially in a guy (or bear)
Like Colin, Marty's been entensively aged stained etc. And inspired by my old guy Gus.
Marty will be joining me and the wonklings for Craft Hatch.

Oh Marty. How lovely you are. All teddy bears should be gentle and caring. They have to be patient and good listeners too. He looks like he is definately all of those!

Vic said...
