I sent a picture of a knitted/wet felted purse with needle felted Dogwood Flowers that I recently finished to a friend today, because she is who I got the handspun merino wool yarn from that I used to knit the purse. She has a web / mail order business very close to where I live in NM where she offers beautiful natural/organic fabrics,yarns,notions etc. She is always looking for feedback on what folks do with things they purchase from her, so I sent her the pictures...and she just wrote back to me that I am now on the front page of her web site:

She had asked if she could put the purse on her blog...lol...but I had no idea what she was gonna actually do...I am still blushing here....but very proud to see it, and wanted to share it with my friends.

:crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: That's what I thought!! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: I don't know why that struck me as funny.....it is art after all.......hmmm, that would give new meaning to a realistic style bear, now wouldn't it?! bear_whistle

Renae,
lol famous or infamous...with the anatomically correct stuff...lol I loved doing that purse...I am partial to Dogwood flowers too :)
I hadn't read any of the Clan of the Cave Bear books in a long time, but when I made the Cave Man, Jondalar was all I could think of...but I always imagined him much more handsome than my Needle Felted version...I would have made both Ayla & Jondalar blonde...but the only wool I had at the time was Sand & Jasper color Navajo Churro...so thus they are both brunette...
I am so thrilled that you got to see the baskets too...I am working on miniature baskets now...hope to get pics of them soon & get them on a seperate page on my web site...ohhhh tooooo much to do lol
Thanks for checking all my stuff out.

Tracy....there is someone on German ebay who does make anatomically correct male bears - well actually not anatomically correct I suspect, rather bears with shock value....to me....it's plain wrong. Dolls/sculptures fine but teddybears????
