Doll and Bear show

I'll be an exhibitor at the Hill Country Doll Show & Sale, Saturday February 12th at the Civic Center in Downtown New Braunfels. This is the only show I'll be doing until the holidays. Come on out, it always draws a weird (but harmless) crowd! www.dolldr.com

Christmas Bears

Here are my Christmas bears for this year. They are all listed online: http://www.joyceweaver.etsy.com/ and www.artfire.com/users/joyceweaver. My next show is here in Burnet December 4th: http://www.burnethillcountrychristmas.com/.

New Bear

This bear was made from a commercial pattern and I used some faded shaggy felt for the bear's body. I've been wanting to make this bear for awhile, but somehow never found the time. It was a quick, fun project and an attempt to make something in the "primitive" or "country" styles that are popular decorating trends. In order to even out the bear's color, I sprayed an antiquing ink all over the body.
