Hi Everyone!
The sizzling new issue of Bearsandbuds' September Webzine has been published and ready for your reading enjoyment.
Meet Emily Meyer (Arrowroot Sculptures) and Gail Griffiths (Bear Bottom Heirloom Bears) in their featured articles. Each has an exciting story about how they became involved with bear making and how they balance their busy lives to find the time to create more!
Flip through the What's New pages and see the newest bears/buds from our Professional Artists Members. Their talent surfaces through all the photographs. Links will take you to the Global Directory where you can contact the artists and ask about their recent creations.
Just a few more days to vote in the final round of the URSA Awards Competition. Your one vote helps determine the URSA Major: The Best Overall from the top winners in each category.
Awards and presentations will be announced on October 15, 2008
Congratulations to all who entered and to all who have placed. The work, creativity and ability "reached far beyond the stars". Vote now until September 14, 2008.
