Thank you ladies. Must add a blender pen to my next shopping list and perhaps some lighter colours (I used black :redface: ). NOT a good look Chrissie
Is my technique right thou just dotting with the fine nib and then brushing it away? If so, should the brush be dry or nearly dry?
Many thanks Ali x
Hi Chrissie, thanks for posting this topic. I was trying just last night to use a copic pen - I took it slowly, dabbed small dots around the top of the eye and with a dry brush swept it upwards and ........... oh what a mess - could have cried nearly threw the head across the room but then the phone rang, it was my best friend and she said she would report me to animal protection if I did!
I wouldn't mind but it took me ages to get to this stage and didn't want to start again. These pens should come with instructions! HELP pleeeease.....................

Claudia your bunny is so cute - her fur is such a gorgeous colour, so thick and soft looking
Good luck with your auction.
Can you tell me where you get your alpaca from - the ladies here suggested I use it for one of my projects and how you coloured it?

Thank you Bronwen and Denise, I'm glad you like him.
I gave him to my mum today and she came over all teary eyed - was well worth all that fiddling about
Denise I borrowed this quote from a good friend of mine and thought it was perfect, so I'm happy to pass it on. :hug:

Oh I'm so pleased you like her - thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement.
It really means alot to me, because I know I have along way to go to get to the high standards of you fab ladies.
I'm quite happy making animals for my family at the moment whilst I learn - I wouldn't be happy to sell any yet until I'm 100% happy with them. I have quite a few patterns I would like to make first and Hannah has asked me to make a bear that I will have to try and make a pattern for - so I will happily plod along.......

Oh Jenny they are so beautiful I signed at Benji - I cooed over Angelina - but I lost my heart to Charlotte
I wish I could make it to Hugglets and see them in the fur - I feel like a child that hasn't received an invite to THE party of the year But these pictures are helping

Hello ......... she's not that bad is she
I try and make a little time when the kids are in bed. I like the tv on, but not a programme I'm really interested in so I'm not distracted. Decided best not put music on - by the time I start sewing I'm usually tired and it might send me to sleep - yes EVEN the gorgeous Robbie Williams
Hugs Ali x
WOW that amazing
Must look out for a kit next time I go to my craft/sewing shop. I couldn't get the hang of knitting so maybe I might be able to crochet!
Hugs Ali x
What a pretty bear - I love that colour combo
I'm know you are going to have a complete sellout at Hugglets - my bear in my avatar told me it was in his magic ball
Keep those gorgeous bears coming!
Hugs Ali x
She's adorable all your bears look so huggable and soft.
I am amazed how you make your little ones - I'm not familiar with crochet, is it similar to knitting?

Amazing and beautiful - I wish I was going to Teddies 2007
I'm sure Solly will be snapped up within minute of the doors opening!

This little bear is only 3" - sorry he didn't photo very well - my fault (not his)
I am happy that I have attempted a mini, but I think I will have to keep to 5" or more in future - my sausage fingers find the tiny bits too fiddly!
I'm giving this little one to my mum as a surprise and will let her name him.
I've added a picture of my most recent additions - I hope you like them!
