ThimbleBearyOriginals-AlmostThere.jpgAlmostTheresmall1.jpgHi Everyone! bear_flower I recently created this vignette of three miniature bears (3 1/4 inches each), working on getting their little blue car to the bear show just up the road.  Poor bear in back, he has to push them up a hill!  But it's all worth it to get to the bear show! :lol:

Here is the little story that I submitted to Bears & Buds for the URSA Awards competition.  This what I was thinking the entire time I worked on this piece (also gives a description of the materials I used):

Three little bears are almost to the Bear Show!  They were driving along, when suddenly, their little car could not get up the hill.  What to do?  Push, of course!  And with one to steer and one to give instructions!  Poor little bear in back is working hard, but he'll get the job done!  This vignette was created with three miniature bears, all from imported faux fur, blown-glass doll eyes with Ultrasuede eyelids, and sculpted epoxy clay noses.  Their arms are wired for posing, the foot pads are Ultrasuede, and they are shaded with oils.  The bears and the car are removable from the scene.  The scene itself was also handmade by the artist and created from a variety of miniature railroad and sculpting supplies applied to a wooden base.

What a lovely tableau, Tracy, and so funny  bear_laugh .

I guess the two bears in the car don't (or won't) realize they would get a lot quicker to the show if they all pushed !   :crackup:

Wonderful !

Hugs,  :hug:
