Sounds like my mojo is back.
I am finding myself again into making a new bear. Currently making a new bear from the re-arranged pattern I used for Macaron a few months ago.
This bear will only have one joint : in the neck. The body is unjointed.

The idea behind it to have a pattern I can use to make cheaper bears because sales are not going well.

In addition, from this Summer I begin to show up here and there in my area at craft markets and will join art&craft local associations too.
We shall see what come out of this new plan!

So far, it is obvious visitors have no money to spend to treat themselves. In my last markket, which was only craft market (the others were combined with garage sale), many people took time to admire my bears and grated me with nice comments, so this was rewarding. But they did not buy them...   bear_wacko

Just be patient... well, trying to. bear_tongue

You can find my lattest creation in the showcase. This was just a try. Out of my comfort zone.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

I find this happens too Sophie, everyone will comment on the bears, how cute etc but won't put their hands in their pockets.

At least it is all positive comments so take it onboard and yes, be patient..
