Bear

June 16, 2006

Alone_on_chair

I was in the mood for some color the other day and started to put together this bear. He’s made of pretty much random pieces of fabric, vintage and thrifted and new, that happened to be out and in piles on the floor for other projects. I almost didn’t finish him because I just wasn’t sure that the colors were really going to work well enough together, considering that there really was no master planning here.

I’m glad I did though. I’m in a bit of a creative slump and maybe he will help me get going again.

Here he is with his friend, made a while back from the same pattern, but in a very different palette.
Together

Happy weekend!

    I think he is great! I love the patchwork-iness (is that a word?) of him!

    He’s a gorgeous little bear – sometimes the softies with the most character come from whimsy and the least planning!

    If this bear was put together while you were in a slump, I don’t think you have to worry any!!! He is so adorable and looks very creative to me. Keep up the fantastic work!
