Hi all, I just finished my second bear, another Polar Bear and her cub. I had started a cat but did not like how it was coming. Thanks again for all your help in getting me started.
Terrific little vignette . . . great work! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks you all for the wonderful comments. My bears are about 2 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" x 2 1/4". I am still using the corriedale wool sliver roving since I have so much. I tried clay claws but the smell of the glue seems to staying with the bears and I don't like that.
I never introduced myself, my name is Andrea, I am a stay at home Mom with a degree in art. I chose Katiebear as my screen name because it is the nickname I gave my daughter when she was born some time ago.
Felting is very new to me, this is my second item but like I said before I am totally hooked. This bear was inspired by my son. Just the other night he cuddled up with me laying on my arm, that is where I get most of my ispiration in all of my art.
As for selling, I just listed my first bear on ebay, just to see if there is a market for my bears.

We'll see. There is so many talented people out there it amazes me. Either way, I have a feeling I will be poking and jabbing for years to come. This is a fabulous board, very friendly, encouraging and helpful. Thanks again!!

Bobbie, I think we may be soul sisters with the Polar Bears!!!
I just love them.
