Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you Thelma, you're very kind :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments about Pampas-Peacock :hug:  :hug: I really do enjoy sculpting the Capability Bears.

Gabriele, I use acrylic paints which I dilute with water and gradually build up the colour. I find by slightly wetting the fabric with water before applying the paint you get  a softer effect and  don't seem to get harsh lines (more like working in watercolour) hope this helps you  :hug:

Hi Everyone

I hope you can pay her a visit :hug:
