Thanks a lot for the info... hoping to try it this week.

Hello

I've read through the library and the post that everyone refers to in regards to painting eyes (Sheli's) and I am STILL confused. I am hoping someone can give me a step by step instruction. I am wondering if this will work:

1. Be certain eye is clean
2. Apply clear nail polish (or clear glitter nail polish) and let almost dry
3. Apply chosen paint - nail polish or acylic paint, or glass paint and let completely dry
4. (Optional) Scrape eye with pin from pupil in outward motion and paint black. Allow to completely dry.
5. Finish eye with varnish or clear nail polish.

If you think this would not work, could you do a numbered instruction? Thank you

Are you saying, that anything but a Schulte fabric will fray?

Hello!

I'm interested in viscose fabric, I've never used it before. Does anyone know of a site with a decent variety and economical to US/Can dollar? Maybe someone here even has some fabric they'd be interested in letting go of?

Thanks in advance...

I created a new style tonight, after my coffee / tea dyed mohair dried. I called him "Kona"

Russell admires the fine work of honey bees. Being a bear, he especially loves honey. Therefore, in finding the perfect outfit for himself, it's only sensible that he picked out a bumble bee print. In fact, at times he can actually fool the bees into thinking he is one of them (if you can imagine that) - and steals all of their honey! He credits his amazing honey-thievery skills fully to his honey print jumper. He's never without it!

Thank you bear_original Yes, she believes she is indeed, a bunny princess. So she's never without her lovely dress.

You know I've thought quite a bit about it, and you're right. I don't have to provide a reason. I think a simple no will do it.

Kensington loves traveling. He's been everywhere. He wears his little vest on his travels, making certain that he places at least one stamp for every country he visits. One time, he went all the way to Madagascar. He couldn't believe some of the friends he met - he's never seen anyone that looked like that before. To this day, he has pen pals in Madagascar - and he plans to visit them again someday - he might even stay!

He's available on Etsy bear_original
