New Christmas Design!

 This little German style Navitity Christmas lamb is too cute! He's made from paperclay and has hand carved stick legs. His needled cotton coat is overdyed and antiqued with coffee. He sports a hand dyed scarlet red shoe lace collar with a tiny rusty bell and stands 2 and 3/4" high at the head. He's gonna look great on the tree!  I wll post something about the mushroom when I get a better photo.

New Gallery Bear With A Blue Cape Coat

A white winter bear for the gallery. So here she is already to be sent off to the gallery. She has beautiful blue eyes, a tilt growler, German glass glitter snowflake and a blue cordoroy cape coat. This is my first Victorian style cape coat design with a flowered liner and vintage leather buttons. I think this bear will particularily age well.
