Excellence in Bear Artistry Awards 2015
I was very excited to hear that my entry in the Miniature Dressed Bear under 3.75" category, has received a Judges' Choice Award!
My little 2.6" tall piece; "Joan of Arc" was inspired by my youngest son's involvement with a Medieval Society at Edinburgh University where he's currently in his second year studying. Over the summer he constructed his own chainmail coif (like a hood) and vest - and so I decided to make a tiny tribute to this iconic young lady from that period in history.
I well remember "being" Joan whenever we read the George Bernard Shaw play, for our A levels ... (back a few years ago now!) but she was feisty and vulnerable at the same time; which I tried to portray with small pieces of Long Pile Upholstery Velvet, Ultrasuede and a silver lurex net!
If you would like to see the other Judge's Choice Winners, and vote for your favourites, please click the logo to do so, up until 31st October. Sit back and enjoy!

Teddy Bear Artist Event
Nearly time for the 2015 Teddy Bear Artist Event, in Stratford upon Avon*! I love exhibiting at this show; with its friendly, and communal atmosphere. Once again the show will be supporting The British Heart Foundation, and I will be bringing along a tiny Frivol, with her own bag containing a pretty vintage-print notebook, to be one of the Raffle prizes.
Hoping to see plenty of friends there! :0)
* The fair opens 11.00am at the Stratford Arthouse (previously named Civic Hall) on sunday, 14th June.

Winter Bear Fest at Hugglets!
It's nearly time for the first Hugglets fair of 2015 - at the Kensington Town Hall, on Sunday 22nd Feb.
Here's just a quick preview of a few of the brand new bears I'll be bringing with me:-
I'm hoping to spread the love of bears with this collection (eight in all) various styles; antique lace collars, silk ribbons, and a little heart proclaiming them the "LOVE bears" collection.
The "HaBEARdashery" collection of variously sized bears, all with their own little haberdashery decorations. They bring a pretty vintage style bookmark to complement each.
