More photos and I made a "doll!"

Another event at the Philly show was a "challenge" for bear artists to make a doll and doll artists to make a bear! A year ago when I agreed to do this, it seemed like a good idea! Actually, I had great fun creating "Stargazer" pictured above. He's a wee elf who has climbed atop Mushroom House Observatory with his telescope and teddy bear to observe the night sky. This isn't a really good photo, but you get the idea! Stargazer is made from polymer clay and his teddy has a mini bear fur head and a needle felted body. I wasn't expecting to have the piece adopted, but Valerie insisted Stargazer should move to her house in California. Thanks Valerie!

Now, before the other photos from the show, I'd like to list some links to sources I used for gathering goodies for my workshop on making mini hats:

tiny flowers and 2mm silk ribbon here - you might enjoy other trims on offer and be sure to check Stef's ebay site which is linked at the bottom of her home page - many mini treasures

www.quiltersfancy.com

this is the place for the unusual ribbon flowers I had plus the pretty multi-colored ribbon. I bought what I had at a quilt show the owner attended in February which was held in my area. Most everything is available on her website.

This is the place for the pattern for the petal hat. Debbie has lots of things of interest to mini makers!
