BBAA and Pretty Toys

DaDa, 1st place (International artist) British Bear Artist Awards

I'm so thrilled that my panda, DaDa has won first place in British Bear Artist Awards (International category). And I'm delighted to know what the judges said about my bear:

"Delightful airbrushing on the eyes",  "Beautifully cub like",  "Wonderful shaping on the face". These valuable comments are an encouragement to me, and I'll keep designing and creating more lovable bears and friends in the coming year : )

Besides, I'd like to share with you a feature of YuYu Bear on the latest issue of "Pretty Toys" magazine from Russia (English version) No.4-2011.

Daisy : my first bunny

Daisy is my first attempt at designing a bunny for Easter and spring. The inspiration came from a piece of my ribbon embroidered daisy, I used it for one of the foot pad and embroidered the name "Daisy" on the other one in purple coton perle. The foot pads are then framed by different colours flock fabric. She is about 13.5 inches tall when seated (from ears), made from dense faux fur in buttermilk colour and ultrasuede for inside ears.

She is sweet and fluffy, hope you like her <3

More photos and details of Daisy and new bears are coming : )
My Etsy shop will be opened soon, stay tuned !
