Fishing On The Lip...

 I'm gradually working my way through the Christmas commissions - finished this one last week.  This is bear 503 and bear 812 (brothers from different litters) fishing on the lip at Brooks Falls.  Painted in watercolour on paper.

Next up, a dog portrait - that makes a change!

Holly's Little Fuzzy...

I made this the other day - I had found the perfect fabric on line for a reasonable price.  This is based on a bear cub seen this year on the Explore.org cams that kept us entertained for the whole summer.

She belongs to last year's Fat Bear winner, Holly 135, and was a force to be reckoned with - she fearlessly climbed high trees, she had an unfortunate encounter with a porcupine that left her limping for weeks, she played with the cubs from other bear families (very unusual) and grew fatter and fluffier day by day.

I may, however, have shot myself in the foot with this one - it found a home almost immediately and I have orders for five more...

Making Masks...

I'm still sewing masks whenever I get a few minutes spare.

As we are in this for a long time, there is no reason masks have to be boring - I love this cute animal print!

A raccoon in a sweater - what's not to love!

Also, let's have a festive mask - Christmas is certainly not cancelled in our house!

I love this autumnal fabric, absolutely beautiful.  

 

If you see something you like, do contact me as I am willing to take on mask commissions as well.

Christmas...

Here is the first commission this year for a Christmas present - bear 135 Holly, with her cub 719 and her adopted cub 503.  I thoroughly enjoyed painting this one - watercolour on paper. One down, three to go...

I'm still making masks when I have a minute or two spare.  I love the print on this autumn themed one.

I am also making some in Christmas themed fabric - if we have to wear masks this Christmas, we might

as well make them jolly!
