bm-tt-4.jpg'Bearily Marilyn is 4" tall, my smallest articulated bear to date, and I'm quite proud of her - mostly for enduring the frustration of working so small - all that horrible handwork. .

Oh Kelly what a beautiful girl she is and well done making this little charmer. Like you, I find it hard to make small bears, but you certainly have done a great job with Bearily Marilyn.

Hugs, Jane.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

Her dancing moves are divine, and the story, like all of them, was great fun to read.  She is really wonderful

gosh, thanks, everyone!  I have to admit that I'm loving her myself,  but she really was sheer torture for me to make.  I think I re-did every part at least twice, and the dress - which I thought I could whip out in an hour - took me almost two days.  I ended up using quilters betweens and invisible thread  {{{shudder}}} it wraps itself around everything.  horrible stuff, just horrible!

Mireille, I can see from your work how much you love all that tiny stuff and I envy you both your talent & your patience.    :hug:

oh, in sheer frustration, because for some reason ebay isn't allowing me to add the rest of marilyn's pics, here's a clearer shot of her blower 'grate'.   I was so far behind that I didn't get my listing up until after 11pm, and forgot a few shots, as usual

What an incredible imagination you have and then to be able to transmit that to a work of art is mind boggling!!!! The grate is brilliant!!!!

Hi Kelly,
Thank you !
Most of the people think when you make a small bear you spend less time on it.
I can't describe how many hours and hours I need to make a hand-made bear & dress.
But your Marilyn looks soooooooooo gorgeous and that's the most important of your work !!!

Bear Hugs

hey, thanks everyone!  i think she's a charmer, too, but I don't think I'll be doing very many miniatures, it just takes to long. .  . I'm glad I finally tried one, though, it sure gives you a new appreciation for those who work small all the time  :clap:

What a fun creation Kelly. You would think the smaller the creation the less time it takes but not so! My hats off to you all mini creators. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
