BERT says TRICK OR TREAT

LOOKY...can you believe it...a new dumpling!!! This poor little bear has been in pieces on my worktable for months just waiting to be a bear. Poor thing...but I think he was worth the wait. Here are some quicky preview photos. I'm in the process of shopping for a light tent and lights. All this dragging my stuff outside for photo ops at just the right lighting times is for the birds...tweet tweet. :O)

Meet BERT just in time for Halloween, although, he didn't want to dress up in a costume. He wanted everyone to meet him as a real bear no gimmicks...just BERT. BERT stands tall at 9 inches. He's stuff firmly with polyfil, glass pellets and a few stainless steel bb's in his belly for a nice hefty weight. Bert's fur is a nice thick pile german mohair in a rich chocolate brown and I've hightlighted his wool felt footpads and face using a dry brush technique in black. BERT's cute little nose has been carefully stitched with black embroidery floss and then sealed with a non-yellowing matte sealer to protect it for years to come. He is 5-way cotterpin jointed for ease in posing.

If you are interested in adopting BERT, his adoption fee is $110 with free shipping to US. Of course international buyers are always welcome. Just email me!!!

Thanks for peeking in on BERT.

Hugs,

Adopted!!!

The little ones have all found homes. I have to admit the last family to adopt I wasn't quite sure about, but you can't judge a book by it's cover, right? I've never had that feeling with any one else. Keep them in your thoughts if you think about it. It's a bit quiet and lonely right now...I miss those sweet, cuddly little bundles of fur.

Now to capture ornery ol' Skippy and get her spayed...maybe her attitude would improve as well.

Hugs,
Shantell

Edit to add: Poor Skippy has been crying and looking for her babies all yesterday and so far today. She just sits in the middle of their play area and cries and cries....then comes over and sits in front of me and stares. Talk about a guilt trip. :O( <---- me with big tears.
