I am so pleased to say that I entered three bears in the British Bear Artist Awards and all were placed.
My miniature Barnaby was 2nd place in category 1 for undressed miniatures...
My 16 inch bear Rufus was 3rd place in category 4 for medium sized classic bears and finally ...
My 5 inch elephant Norma was 3rd place in category 9 for furry friends.
I am still trying to take the news in :dance: :dance:
Please feel free to add to my list if you have been placed in the awards....congratulations to all bear_thumb bear_flower

Many congratulations, Laurie and Chloe. My polar bear, Pakak, won the Realistic category. I'm looking forward to him returning from Teddy Bear Times so I can give him a big hug!

Hugs

Thanks so much Sue Ann! I am still making sloths, but not as much... had a bit of a bad experience so I lost my sewing buzz for a while... now I want to try and get back to the reason I started this hobby: lovely bears!

Chloe, one of my first thoughts when I saw Bombardier was ' I wonder how many tries it took to get his body right?' lol, I'm sure it was not a walk in the park, it's just a fabulous shape. I don't know about everyone else but I really admire artists who've taken the effort to do something that stretches them like that :clap:
