Teddies are not out of my system yet. I have a few more to share! The first is a steampunk teddy and his little buddy: This is an adaptation of a wonderful pattern by Monica Spicer.
Next another Monica Spicer pattern, I call him Mulberry and Little Dude: I had fun embroidering the nose with multi-coloured cotton thread.
Finally, my latest favourite, the big dude teddy with the great big nose: I knitted his sweater as a indigenous West Coast design and I both embroidered and waxed his nose. He is quite the big, burly guy at 23" tall. I had to use three different pieces of mohair for him, but he was worth the effort.
Signing off until after Easter when I return from my vacation in Toronto. Enjoy the beginning of Spring and keep on creating!
My blog is designed to share my love and enthusiasm for art dolls with family and friends.
