Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

He was created with the purity of winter and stars in mind. Hope he can remind you of the beauty of winter as spring is coming.

I love how sweet and sincere his face is! And oh such a fluffy belly. Great work Claire!

I made her for the Year of the Sheep and to keep the hope for a blossoming spring in mind through long winters!
She is available for adoption on http://paeoniadrop.storenvy.com/product … ream-sheep

Thank you Claire! I was doing a flower for every color of the rainbow!

That face is just too sweet!

Inspired by Studio Ghibli's "Kiki's Delivery Service" I made this little kitten with a removable box, dress and little broom. Her bow attaches via magnet and dress has a velcro back! She'll be sure to bring a little childhood magic to any home!

Beautiful little one with the sweetest face!

Complete with an adorable wool felt headpiece (it's magnetic and removeable), Evie was made with Summer fun and the freshness of watermelons in mind.

The second in my Chromatic Garden collection. Orange is for Chrysanthemums

Thank you Rikki and Micelle. I love doing colorway dye jobs and needle felting their faces!

Thank you Lisa.
I have only made two yellow giraffes before and blue just struck me as a perfect color when I saw some pens. Choosing a warm brown to balance out the coolness of the blue definitely worked!

Thank you Becky.
I discovered, I really like needle sculpting feet!

I had a wonderful time creating this blue giraffe inspired by stationary and nursery art!

Thank you everyone for enjoying Arden. Means so much to me you took the time to take a closer look!

Thank you Jenbee!

A custom forest moth fairy themed bunny. The wings have swirled and curled wires for a very pretty design.

Hi Laura,

Yes that's what I was asking. Sorry for not phrasing it clearer. Is there any chance of the wire slipping deeper into the head using that method? I have some E6000 but that takes a little while to set.

Hi everyone,

I've browsed the library a bit and while I found people talking about fairy wings, I've seen a few bears with antennas here, so I was wondering if you could lend me a hand. I'll be making mine out of wire and some film. I thought about creating a loop on the end as we have with eyes and attaching them that way, but with more though, in that scenario the wire would pull straight through. I've attached handmade antlers like this before, but the antlers were there to stop it from going into the fabric further.

Thanks,
Laine

The finale of my Four Seasons of Ombre: Winter Waltz

She was inspired by a winter rose fairy and she has little wings which could be seen on my blog

Hi Kirstie. Thank you! I made them out of polymer clay and then used a glossy glaze.

Inspired by the forest and the upcoming school year, I decided to go with a jackalope and for the first time, made antlers out of polymer clay to attach to my doll
