Basic Bear Boot Camp

Here's my finished bear from the EbearZ University online class. Everyone taking the class used the same traditional teddy bear pattern provided in the class. It will be interesting to see how different everyone bear turns out.

Online Bear Class

The past few weeks I've been busy with an online class with EbearZ Univeristy.  Basic Bear Boot Camp is a new class and offered for free...can't beat that price. Class was taught by Nancy Tillberg of Kran-Bearys. You can read all about it at EbearZU blog. I've been making bears for several years but Nancy has  some really great methods and techniques and I learned much easier ways to do some things. I especially enjoyed the videos provided with the written lesson.

If you haven't been by EbearZUniversity in a while, stop by and take a look. She's added many new classes and some new teachers, too.

Finished my bear today and will try to get pictures this week.

My Apologies...

My apologies to my followers and everyone who has visited my blog over the last several months. For some personal reasons, I was unable to maintain my blog. That's about to change. I'm back! I hope you'll still  want to visit my blog in the future.

I've recently completed  two bears and have two more cut out waiting to be put together. I have signed on for the Be My Valentine online show on February 12, 2011. Kind of strange to have things on my calendar that far in the future, but I'm ready to think about those bears, too.
