Hi and thanks for popping in for a visit :-)
I LOVE Teddy Bears - I am an Arctophile (which means "lover of" or "collector of" Teddy Bears). I love Teddy Bear stamps, stuffed toys, pictures - anything with a cute teddy. I think if Beanie Kids Bears were around when I was a little girl, I would have wanted every single one they made. I also love to paint teddy bears which was my main reasons for starting Decorative (or Tole) Painting lessons some years ago now.
I recently painted this little Teddy Christmas Brooch and thought I would share it with you:
The kit came as a wooden blank with the design for you to trace on plus the brooch pin for the back, but you supply the paints. It was painted with JoSonja Acrylic paints. After I painted it, I thought the little hat needed something "textured", so I reached for my white Flowersoft and glued it on, and I love how it turned out. Here is a little close-up pic of the hat:
Hope you like my little teddy! Finished length (from the top of the hat to the bottom of the stocking) is 10 cm or 4 inches.
Back in a few days with another one of those difficult masculine birthday cards!

You are so clever- I can never get a paint brush to do what I want it to! The flower soft on the hat looks so pretty and is the perfect finishing touch!
