I am fascinated with fabrics and textiles, and I love to experiment. I am drawn to whimsical, fun art. Many of my teddy bears are designed as I go along, I sometimes start with a sketch and definite idea, but often see them change as I work with the material.
I have been doing some needle felting lately and decided to needle felt a five way jointed teddy bear. I have jointed him with heavy silk suture thread. He has black bead eyes and needle felted nose, mouth, eyebrows and paw pads.
Man, I've been felting for nearly 10 years, now, and I even learned about it from a teddy bear magazine; why haven't I thought of making a jointed felted friend?!
Cute? He is adorable!! Fantastic artist!!!! Blown away here hon!!!!!!
