The mail man brought me a wonderful package today as inside of it was Colin my bear swap from Bonnie Also included was a big bag of Ghirardelli chocolate squares and an angel pin. I don't know how Bonnie knew that I was a chocoholic and that this brand is my most favourite- drool all of you who are like me!!!!My husband has been warned to not even think about helping himself. Bonnie has given me a wonderful bear with so many techniques incorporated into the face such as handpainted eyes, ultrasuede eyelids and rims, polished nose and needlesculpting. His foot pads are also sculpted. Colin is wearing a plaid vest and a wool felt hat that Bonnie also made. I especially love his oversized feet
Thanks for being my swap partner Bonnie and I shall treasure this bear
Hugs
