Thad... my newest little bear

Thad
Thad is a little hand sized bear... standing 6" tall. He was made from matted sparse mohair with Ultrasuede paw pads, black German glass eyes and perle cotton nose and accents. He is cotter pin jointed, stuffed with premium polyester fiberfill and weighted with steel shot.
Thad is wearing a "T is Thad" necklace... and I found a cute little vintage tin Ohio Art child's cup and saucer for him.
His picture will be in the August "Bears & Buds" on-line magazine. After that issue comes out, I will post him on BearPile

Blog giveaway has a winner!

The giveaway has a winner!! I put all the comments/names and the names of those who emailed me directly into a pail... and we drew a name!

The winner is #8 sea and I have emailed her directly... I need her snail mail address so I can send the hedgehog and his pincushion to her!!

Thank you ALL for participating! I will be doing another giveaway around the holiday season. I hope you will look in here and to my ArtFire shop now and again!

Whoo whoo ...made it to 500+ Giveaway

The giveaway is one of my little spiky mohair hedgehogs and his acorn pincushion. He measures, just so you have an idea of his size, 3 inches from nose tip to back. He has German glass eyes, perle cotton nose, polyester fiberfill and leadshot filling and an Ultrasuede face.

Now all you have to do is take a look at my Artfire studio and come back and comment on my blog. Lili, my 7 year old granddaughter will pull a name from a hat on her aunt's birthday July 27th. May the best "person" win!
