Oh, My!

Very Unique!
Never heard of the artist!

Very unusual.  I have never seen anything quite like it.  I do like the colors though.  Just goes to show there are no boundaries in art.  I hope she finds a good home.

Wow Nettie,

thanks, we would have missed this treat had you not found it and brought it to us.  Thank you for doing that. 

What a fun bear.....no limits....no bounderies....that's the beauty of life and art.

Aren't we lucky?!

Verity is quite a well known artist in Australia.  Very well known for her "merbears" (which is also her trading name).  I saw some of her bears at a shw in Melbourne and they were quite amazing.  Having seen them in pictures previously, I didn't think they were my thing at all, but she had a small one at the show which was just stunning and I quickly changed my mind.  (shows how important "in the fur" can be than a photo) 

This is her website

Thanks for the link Melissa.I quite like the merbears but the pictures of the four legged ones are not working.She seems to be a very talented wee soul.

WOW Nettie, thanks for the posting, what amarvelously unusual bear. The name doesnt ring a bell. But some quite unusal designs come out of Victoria.

Wow! What an unusual yet fascinating girl this bear is. I have never heard of the maker.
