Hi Lurkers!  We can't identify you, but we know you're here!  Please do introduce yourselves and say hello, or ask questions.  We like to help

Ok, you found me, I am guilty of this.  Its just there is so much to read and learn from you wonderful artists.  And all the beautiful bears to look at, I run out time to post.

Hopefully someday I will be as good as all of you  :pray:

Thank you eveyone - I have truly learned a lot. :hug:

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.  A BEST friend will be sitting next to you saying, "DANG!  That was fun!"
 

What a funny conversation going on - I agree with Daphne, I will never look at my bras the same again also.  You gals are so funny.
Laurie

Wow Tami youyr bear is vey cute, what type of material did you use?
Laurie

Thank you for the nice compliments.  She is actually dark brown, I used a synthetic purchased from Joann's it is curly and very soft.  I was to nervous to use my expensive mohair I am saving.
Laurie

Hi Everyone:

I think I finally figured it out.  Here is my finished bear head from Nancy's class handing around.  I shaded the eyes, which does show very well on dark material.  I also waxed the nose.  I am going to try my hand at designing a body, instead of using the bear as an ornament.

Oh Judi:

Hi Judy:

I live in Windlake, WI, work in Mequon.  We are close, would love to meet you sometime, I really admire your work and I am still in love with your tigger.  If my memory is correct, I believe this is the first December in awhile that we are going to have snow for Christmas.
