grizzly-mamma-10-ttsm.jpgI thought you might like a peek at my latest piece - a great grizzly mamma named Ginny and her wee cub Gigi.  this is my first ever realistic bear/cub vignette and I'm really quite pleased with the results.  Ginny is 18" long and made of a way cool  - and very grizzly - faux fur and Gigi is made of vintage shaded alpaca.  both are multi-jointed with leather paw pads, claws and eyelids.  I've continued to experiment with armatures with these two, and although I'm not into getting really detailed as far as 'anatomically correct' goes with my bears, I felt that nursing was central to the theme of motherhood I wanted this piece to evoke, so I did do some further research and gave Ginny a bears requisite 6 nipples on her chest & belly (now try googling 'bear breasts' - or nursing bears - and just see how far you get ;-)
