A punk in the making…
I’ve been busy since my last post, I have a punk in the making. Here is his progress so far:
Let’s start with the fur, don’t you think this would make a great punky bear?
And the beginnings of a bear, this is how the punk started life…
Half sewn up, just the head and feet to do now…
And here he is all sewn up and turned right way round…
Next, we stuff the head insert temporary placement eyes and pin on the ears…
Here he is fully stuffed, still with placement eyes in…
And now with his real eyes in…
Look, he has eyebrows (you can’t have an eyebrow piercing without eyebrows, can you?) …
And finally an anarchy sign on his right foot…
There is still much to do on this bear. He needs a bit of shading and some piercings, but you’ll have to wait until next week for that as my needle nose pliers have died.

Isabella has been adopted!
Isabella has found her new forever home this week too!
I am so proud that this lovely collector chose one of my bears to be the first artist bear to add to her hug.
I love it when they get adopted into a lovely new family. It looks like she’ll have lots of new friends in her new hug too.
Here’s a photo of her with her new friend Harris:

New: Collectors Gallery
Now, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed it yet, but underneath my testimonials page I have added a collectors gallery.
It only has a couple of photos so far, so if you would like to send me a photo of your adopted bear, now they have settled in to their new homes, that would be fantastic 🙂
It can be your bear on it’s own, within it’s new hug, with a new beary friend (like the photo of Isabella, above), or it could even be a photo with you and your bear.
It’s entirely up to you.
You can see the gallery so far here:

Good luck on your collectors’ photo gallery Kat – such a lovely idea which deserves to be a success. And thank you for letting me adopt Isabella, she is such a sweetheart. Will send you photos now and again over time and you can see how she’s settled. Dx
Thank you Donna, I hope more collectors send in their photos. You are most welcome to adopt Isabella, I think she was holding out for you, especially with our grandmothers having the same name 🙂
I would love it if you kept me up to date with more photos, thank you! x
