New Bears

Hi Friends

The last few weeks, I have purchased some beautiful synthetic fur I normally make my bears out of mohair but this was just to beautiful to pass by. In my town of Pietermaritzburg there is only one bear supplier and I must say that Abby really goes out her way to find us Bear Artists the best suppliers possible, otherwise we have to either buy on line or drive 100km down to Durban.

I been very excited to get going on making a bear, it was difficult try to choose the fabric I wanted to use first but at last on Monday night I decided on the fabric I would start on first.

It is a long cream pile, very soft to the touch. So last night I started to cut out the pieces and all was going great I was cutting and pinning the pieces together, was on the last leg piece when the lights went out for loadsheding well that was the end of my enjoyment, therefore I was unable to take pics to upload for you all to see.

I am off to do some Christmas shopping tonight after work, will try and finish when I return and will put up some pic of the fabric for you all to  see.

Have a great day
