wow.. it's been such a long time since i last updated. what has passed since then?

I've finally quit my job after thinking about it for a very long time & moved on to greener (i hope!) pastures. Since last monday, I've started on my new job and am feeling very tired everyday!

Katy has received Smudge a couple of weeks ago & I've received Bay from her. He's a darling little bear. ^_^ Coincidentally, we both designed our summer bears similarly. They are both going for a swim and have swimming floats and little rubber duckies! i swear they could have been siblings. hehe.. pics of them are at the end of the post.

I've actually just finished another little bear. but... he simply looks terrible... failure! that's another reason why i've been stuck in the rut for so long.. But! I've decided to leave him aside so that i can find my mojo again.  so now.. I am starting on a grey little bear today. Fur & design chosen. Head drawn already. Backing of fur is treated and waiting to dry. I can start cutting out the head tml. =)


Here's Smudge:

Here's Bay from Katy:

On the way!

Smudge is on the way to Scotland! Hope she gets there soon. ^_^

Smudgy

Smudgy is completed!

(But i cant show you pics yet cos her new mom hasn't seen her yet.)

Well, Smudge was originally a HE but after the ears were attached, Smudge become a SHE! It's amazing what 2 little things at the sides of a head can do to change a bear's looks.

I can't say anymore now, but once Katy has seen her, i'll post up some WIP pics! ^_^

Eyes

My first handpainted eyes. Just the color i wanted. Though not quite the effect i wanted.

guess i have a lonng way to go before i get to starburst eyes. ^_^

My hug

Well. i thought i would finally take pics of my bears:

here's Pebbles, guardian of my bed. From Russ

Grumpy, guardian of my cushion and chair. Also from Russ

The 3 musketers:

 

And Forget-me-not from Karon:

 

Random

this is exactly how i feel now..

The Plunge

Well. I've finally took the plunge and signed for a bearpile account. I decided that my bears will not sell if I just let them sit at home slacking and taking any action. So out into the world they go! I think i will try it for now and see how things go.

Deep breath.
