Interesting for sure! I have to be "careful" when I write, some of my friends will tell you for sure :crackup:
Here is the one Fairy I finished. I did not use the lace winds. I use an applique ones. I still want to make one with lace.

YES! It is a lot of fun !! I will always be thankful to Sonya that did introduce me to ACEO's   I am making a series of Harry P. Bear and I'll post them when they are ready. My trouble with ACEO' is that I am NOT a good photographer I want to have some ready to trade at the San Diego show, if anybody will want to do it.
Have a great weekend.
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

What about Sand Diego Show? I would love to go to Vegas but, I can't   I am looking forward to the San Diego Show. Is the only one close enough for me to go to and it is always so great to see all the beautiful bears and people!
Take lots of pictures at the Vegas one and like Dilu said, please do not forget the Gollies.
Have fun you guys!
Bear hugs and Golly smiles.

Mindy I love this month magazine. The article on the ATCs! :clap:

Hi Mary I am not selling at the SD show I have been going for the passed few years to it but, I have never gotten a table. I guess that I am very insecure about my work. I'll do it...one day   when I feel brave enough   I will love to be able to meet you there.
I hope that everything goes well for you at the las vegas show. I have never been to Vegas. Even if they will have dolls there I am sure that it will be plenty of us, bear people.
I'll better said good night  zzzz  I am falling sleep!!
Thanks again for your help and can't wait to get to work om the wings!!
Bear hugs.

Thank you Mary   I am going to try with the florarl wire! See the one I am working on, I should have been more clear about the actual lace, it is lase but is like an applique in the shape of a butterfly. is the kind that you sew on the garment but, what you are telling me about the wire got my imagination working  in full gear!! I can use so many beautiful laces and just do it with the wire , like you just told me THANKS!!! I think I am going to make a "few" fairies now   to be able to use your technique and oh!... so many pretty laces!! Today  being Fathers' Day I am not going to be able to go and get what I need but, I can't wait till tomorrow!!
Thanks again Mary :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
Are you going to the San Diego show?
Bear hugs.

I know it will be easier to put the stones after but, the wings already came with the stones Matilda.   I think that I will add more after I use the stiffener but, with the ones on now I  know, thanks to you guys, what to do to protect the stones and make sure they keep on shinning    Let me tell you,  I am disappointed!! I thought I would be working on the wings already  but,  I went to Wall-Mart,  I thought they will have the stiffener, no,  the lady there at the craft department, told me that she "had never hear about it" !! I will check my Michaels' tomorrow. I do love and use Aleene's products too but, never the stiffener, thanks for telling me they do make it Bobbie.
I will keep you guys posted.
Thank you so much .
Bear hugs.
Gladys

Thank you so much Chrissi

Thank you to both of you. The wings has rhinestones in both sides but, silly me :redface:  I I didn't think of protecting the stones!!
I am out to the craft store. Wish me luck ladies and thankyou again.
Big bear hugs.
Gladys

I made for my younger granddaughter this ...quilt? I am not too sure how to call it but, maybe can help? On a flat square piece of fabric I  use half of the bears ( body, head, ear, arm and leg ) to make it look like the profile of the bears. I have to see if i can find a picture, that way you can get a better idea of what i am talking about.
