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.

Excellence in Bear Artistry Awards 2014

I am absolutely delighted that my entry in the Miniature Dressed category of the EBAAs has been honoured with a Judges' Choice Award. This means that little Giselle (just under 3 inches tall!) will go forward for a public online vote. All of the nominated creations in each category can be seen on the Excellence in Bear Artistry Awards website - and you can vote on your favourite pieces by following the link!

I was inspired to create "Giselle" by the opulence and fragility of ballet characters, and their costumery. She is wearing a fully removable tulle and organza dress with a fitted bodice, and vintage lace armholes, with silk ribbons and appliqués.

Thank you so much to the Judging panel for their consideration of her! :0)
