Angel

I finished the bear for Teddy Bear and Friends. I'm okay with the finished project although it was agony putting it together. I would have changed so many things. As always I second guess myself thinking that I could have used differnt mohair or I might have needlefelted the feet, etc. Maybe if I had seen the posting when it first came out I would have been able to spend more time on it. As it was I only had less than a week to finish it. Maybe they'll do a little air brushing on her like they do in the fashion magazines? I did learn a new skill. I made angel wings by taking two pieces of Solvay with bits of yarn and mohair in between the layers and then stippled with metallic thread. I think those turned out rather nice.

Now I'm working on another lion. I need to take pictures of a couple of bears to get them on my website. One of these days a buyer might stop buy. Although that's not my main concern. I enjoy the creative process and being able to take scraps of mohair and make a bear or a friend out of it.
