bear8.jpgbear6.jpgbear11.jpgHi all, I just finished my second bear, another Polar Bear and her cub.   I had started a cat but did not like how it was coming.  Thanks again for all your help in getting me started.   bear_wub

Thanks you all for the wonderful comments.  My bears are about 2 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" x 2 1/4".  I am still using the corriedale wool sliver roving since I have so much. I tried clay claws but the smell of the glue seems to staying with the bears and I don't like that. 
I never introduced myself, my name is Andrea, I am a stay at home Mom with a degree in art.  I chose Katiebear as my screen name because it is the nickname I gave my daughter when she was born some time ago.   
Felting is very new to me, this is my second item but like I said before I am totally hooked.  This bear was inspired by my son.  Just the other night he cuddled up with me laying on my arm, that is where I get most  of my ispiration in all of my art. 
As for selling, I just listed my first bear on ebay, just to see if there is a market for my bears.

We'll see.    There is so many talented people out there it amazes me.  Either way, I have a feeling I will be poking and jabbing for years to come.  This is a fabulous board, very friendly, encouraging and helpful.   Thanks again!!
Andrea


P.S. I just gor some black wool so I think I may try a panda, wish me luck!!
