Aquila with Helen Gleeson

Look at this gorgeous bear we are making in Helen Gleeson's workshop in May......

So adorable!

Elegant Lady with Monica

Today was the final day of Monica's Elegant Lady class at Bear Essence.
They are all so beautiful and each one has her own individual look. It is wonderful to watch them come to life, day 3 is my favourite of this class.
Well done ladies and thank you for a great day.

Polly with Karen

Here is a peek at what we will be making with Karen in her Golly classes coming up....

Only a couple of places left....so get in quick!

mY  bUg-a-LuGs...
I am so excited to say that "after two days of solid work in front of my computer, my Bug-A-Lugs pattern is finally here...  Yeah!!!"

This one took a little longer than usual... So many instructions to write up -- the painting of the wooden wings, the beaded antennas, the sculpey nose...  Why do I do this to myself??  I know -- because I absolutely love it!!!

These patterns will be on sale tomorrow...  Kits which include ALL of the ingredients are also available...but you'll have to get in early!!!   Enjoy...

Sculpey class with Monica Spicer

Our first class for 2011 is Monica Spicer's Sculpey class.
We have a few places left if you would like to come down and learn this fun craft.
These little creatures make the perfect accessory for your bears.

The cost is $95.00 and includes all the clay you will need.

We hope you can make it!

With the Christmas and New Year festivities well behind us...  We have unwound, relaxed and are now raring to get back into all things bears!!!

Can't wait to get back in the shop tomorrow (limited trading hours during January) and explore all the new classes, patterns and products we have in store for you in 2011...

We look forward to catching up soon...
