A Fondue pyramid.....?

More gorgeous "Fondue" bears were born on Tuesday after 2 wondeful days with Helen Gleeson. Everyone did such lovely work and most finished early. Thank you for an amazing few days Helen.....and a big thank you to all the girls who joined the classes! We can hardly wait for next years......

Fondue with Helen Gleeson

We are so lucky to have Helen Gleeson back in Melbourne to teach her gorgeous little mink bear "Fondue". Two very full days with lots of trimming, trimming and more trimming! Just when you think you might be almost done....you guessed it....MORE TRIMMING! These little "Fondue"s all turned out so amazingly beautiful. Well done everyone! For more pics click here

bUsy BuSY buSy...
That has been the order of the day or should I say the week!!!
Last Saturday saw Monica Spicer come down to Tooradin to conduct her "Snuffles" workshop. WOW... absolutely gorgeous... Needless to say everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and took home the most adorable bunny pincushion ever!!! Although I wasn't quick enough to take photos of the finished masterpieces, you can visit our website to view the full range of photos taken during this workshop...During the workshop Monica showed us many "tricks of the trade" and openly shared her wealth of knowledge... We watched her mould a little piece of "sculpey" into the cutest little bear companion... The little critter emerged before our eyes in a matter of minutes... Thank you Monica for another great day!!!

Back from The Gold Coast

We are back from sunny Queensland to our gorgeous little shop in Tooradin. The weather down here is perfect....(perfect for bear making that is!)
We had a wonderful time at the Gold Coast International Teddy Fair on the long weekend. A great place to catch up with bear makers, bear friends and bear artists. Now it is time to unpack and ready ourselves for Monica Spicer and Karen Alderson's classes on the weekend. We are finalising our classes schedule for term 3 & 4 and will have everything up on the website in the coming weeks.
Hope to see you soon........
