I’m in Bears & Buds magazine!

I am the featured artist in Bears & Buds monthly online teddy bear magazine.

How awesome is that? I’m so happy! 🙂

Valerie and Dawn at Bears & Buds have done a wonderful article about my bears, so if you would like to give it a read, just click on the photo:

Floss is on the front cover too 🙂

New bears

Since I have a craft fair booked at Tankersley Manor on 3rd July, I thought it would be good if I could get at least two new bears made for it.

I have been working on two very fluffy faux fur bears over the last couple of weeks, and I managed to get one of them finished this weekend.

Here are some work in progress photos for you

I’m afraid that’s the only look that you are going to get for now as I want her debut to be at the show next month.

I hope you like her, and will come to see us on 3rd July.

You can find the show details are at www.brierleybears.co.uk/shows

 

My favourite jewellery maker and best friend Bats & Pieces will also be having a stall at Tankersley Manor Hotel, near Barnsley.

I highly recommend her work and have a small collection of it, (I’m not being biased, her work really is beautiful) so do come along and check out her work too.

We’d both love to see you there, I hope you can make it 🙂
