Now available for adoption! TILLIE ~ a Son Blest BUNNY ♥

Hello Friends! Thank you SO much for stopping by to meet my newest creation, 

Tillie, the Son Blest Bunny :)

She is a brand new design created from a beautiful gray curly matted mohair which I have brushed out in places making it more wavy. She has lovely bunny feet which is another new design for me. I am so pleased with how she turned out. I do hope you will like her too :)

In her pictures she looks more beige than what she actually is, I had to take her pictures inside because it was below freezing and very windy outside! I tried but my fingers quickly became frozen and I had to come back in! 

Tillie has beautiful premium black glass eyes. I have added cording around them to make them more bunny like in appearance and also added shading in browns and black. 

She has additional shading all over her, including her arms, legs, belly and ears in shades of brown and a tiny bit of pink. 

I needle/thread sculpted her face and added shading to enhance her pretty bunny features.

 She has loooong floppy bunny ears which I have added a little bit of weight to with steel shot.

She is 5 way jointed with set screws, lock nuts and fiberboard discs. Her neck was jointed with a t-cotter pin and fiberboard disc.  Her arms have wire armatures in them to allow for gentle posing. 

She was stuffed firmly with premium poly-fil and has steel shot in her belly. She is quite a heavy little bunny! 

Tillie will come with a signed and dated birth certificate to show she is a one of a kind, Son Blest Bear (Bunny).

She will also have a personalized hangtag with all her important information on the back (which is removable).

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On Tillie's back she has a permanent tag that has been signed and dated. Over this tag hangs a cross charm

to show my love and devotion to my savior, Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that I am able to create my

bears and I want to show my appreciation for all He has done in my life. I owe Him everything ♥

Thanks so much :) Warmest wishes, Kimi 

I'm still here! :)

Hello Friends!

I've been sort of missing for awhile, especially from the bear making world. I am happy to say I HAVE been working on a bear. I have the head finished and now all I need to do is sew the rest of it and eventually I'll have a finished bear finally! In the meantime, I wanted to share with you something that has been actually keeping me from completing my bear...but it's something I have sooo enjoyed! Thanks to a very good friend and fellow bear artist I got started in wire and beading art.  I have had so much fun making all kinds of different creations!  If you would like to take a peek, I have several things currently listed on ebay :) under my beading 'name' Son Blest Beads :) Please click on the link below to visit :)

http://www.ebay.com/sch/sonblestbeads/m.html?item=280906578815&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649&_trksid=p4340.l2562

Please do stay tuned, as I will eventually have a bear ready for adoption but in the meantime I hope you will enjoy seeing my new beaded creations! Thank you so much in advance!!

Warmest wishes, Kimi :)

Corydalis ~ My first bear of 2012

Please meet...

 ~ Corydalis ~

meaning 'Blue Panda'

 He is my first bear of 2012 :)

He was created using a silvery gray mohair. I hand-dyed the outside of his arms, legs and both sides of his ears in dark navy blue.  I then antiqued him first using a cinnamon and coffee mixture.  After drying, I used a combination of dark blue and brown oil paints to add additional shading and antiquing to give him a nice subtle vintage look.

He has a little fabric patch handstitched on his belly to add to his vintage charm :) He has premium black glass eyes with upper eyelids with shading all around to give them nice depth. I handstitched his nose in very dark brown, then lightly waxed and shaded it in black for further dimension. His paw pads are dark blue ultrasuede which are shaded lightly in a dark blue/brown mixture. I made him a fabric 'scarf' around his neck. I actually made the scarf after putting it on him so I don't know what it would look like if you took it off..lol!! The scarf, not the bear! hee hee! I tied the rusty brown fabric 'scarf' around his neck, the cut some ribbon strips onto which I threaded brown & gold glass beads. It was just the right touch because it fits him perfectly :) He is approximately 12 3/4" tall and sitting he is approximately 9". He's fully 5 way jointed and weighted a bit with steel shot sand in his belly.

 Always remember that color monitors pick up colors differently so he could look slightly different in person than what he looks like in his pictures.

Corydalis is listed on ebay for 7 days with no reserve.  To view his auction please click on the link below :) His auction ends next Thursday, Febuary 9, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. EST.

I also wanted to share something else I created, I meant to post his auction on here but completely forgot. He is already sold but I still wanted to share him with you :) He is my first primitive santa doll. I created him using my own pattern after being inspired by some primitive santas my mom has. He was a lot of fun to make!  I am currently working on another primitive doll, I will post pictures of her once she's finished ;)

A big Thank You for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day and come back soon!

Warmest wishes and hugs,

Kimi and Penelope ♥
