I've been a bit busy of late - not only have I had to make 9 felt monkeys for an animation, I have also got an order for four of these painted boxes to fulfill by the end of the month. Three complete, the last one nearly done. I think I would be able to paint Otis the bear with my eyes shut now!
Lining the boxes has been a nightmare - the fabric I ordered came from Australia as it was simply perfect with it's salmon print. However, nothing prepared me for finding out it was silky and stretchy and definitely did not want to be manhandled into a box. I ended up using about 30 small clamps to hold the edges in place while the glue dried - worth the effort though.
Also sewing a number of stuffed bears, also Christmas commissions. So with the glue and the fluff, it's a bit messy round here!
