Meet The Three Modern Bears. These little guys where created on canvas
board. I used bits and pieces of scrapbooking papers, clothing tags,buttons
and dollies. Basically anything and everything I could get my hands on.
I love doing stuff like this on a snowy winters day. They are already sold,
but more is on the way! Have a great week everyone

    I love these bears, Vanessa. The fact they are made out of papers and bits makes them more special.

    I think this is so unique and beautiful! I could see this turn into a licensing opportunity in two seconds flat! (ok, maybe not that quick... but still... really cool!)

    They have SUCH chatacter!!!
    Yes, canvas has advantages that other mediumds don't; I'm working on canvas panels right now, which some consoder the lowerst of the low, but the are good quality, firm, hold up well to the torture I put them through and quite frankly, could be popped in an envelope and mailed. And they frame easy.
    Aned I'm rambling...sorry! Not enough java yet!
    I do love these little guys!!! Warm and fuzzy!

    XXOO!!

    Yowza, I love the little '73' peg and the clothing labels and the buttons and the backgrounds. And of COURSE the bears! It would be nothing without the bears! Holy cow, V, I love your bears. Hey, stay warm over there. I'm going to have me some cocoa. Wish the can had one of your labels, though.

    Your bears are just beautiful. I wish I could have one. I'm happy that they already have homes to go to.
