I had a debate with myself as to whether this belonged under bears for sale, showcase, shows, or general.  I'm still not sure, but I'll just stick it here.

Anyway, wanted to let people know that the Hurricane Katrina benefit auction bears are listed on ABC's web site now!  Wish we could go to San Diego in person for the show, but our bear will have to represent us instead.  http://www.abcunlimitedproductions.com/  These are a lot of fun to look at!  My mom and I have a bear there, and Sue Ann is not represented once, but twice with very lovely bears.  I saw Laure's name as well, though don't think she hangs around here so much anymore?  Anyone else here on this list that I missed (I'm sorry if I did, I am so bad with names)?

Our donation bear is Blue Belle, a very exciting result of some hand-dying experiments:

One of the things I like to tinker with is handmade ornaments, Blue Belle has one dripping in genuine Swarovski crystals (lucky bear).  I can only hope that at the live auction that ornament is flashing and sparkling from ALL the way across the room.  If anyone is going to be there in person, let me know!

Really gorgeous Kelly and very deserving cause.  I love the colours on your bear, it can be such fun to do hand dyeing.  The ornament is amazing, looks far better than anything you see in the best christmas shops - GOOD LUCK with the auction  bear_thumb

Oh Kelly, she's gorgeous!!!  You can see all the love and hard work that went into making her  bear_wub

Many thanks for the link  :hug:  It was fun to scroll through and see the donations.  There's a lot of effort going out for this auction.  I just hope being after the Christmas season, that they'll be able to raise the funds they need.
