I've been working for many months now, imagineering a new line of teddy bears. Bears that are a distinct departure from my usual mid-sized, wide-eyed, finely finished work. Bears full of whimsy and attitude and silliness and spunk. Bears softly stuffed and aged and saggy, with a solid kerplunkity-ness, and just right for dangling by one long, outstretched arm. Bears sized just right to sit all floppy and worn and waiting for love in the palm of your hand. Happily, I think I've come up with a winning concept. And with that said, I introduce .... drum roll please... |
When it comes to THE RASCAL POSSE, you should think whimsical, cheeky, adorable, and silly... and you'll have just the right idea about these little (for me) guys. Their sizing is in the 10-12 inch range, and you can count on lots of primitive, scruffy, and needlefelted, textural accents, plus some really cute and giggle-inducing names. Every RASCAL POSSE offering will come with its own designed-and-themed-to-match Artist Trading Card, and a laminated Certificate of Authenticity. LENORA DUDGEON, a Halloween themed bear, was the first of what I hope will be many RASCAL POSSE bears. She was offered with a needlefelted VooDoo Mummy companion; removable, painted linen, wired batwings pinned at her back; and a witchy felted hat I made just for her. In case your'e wondering... I'll absolutely never stop making my original POTBELLY BEARS. They're not only a part of me right down to my very core, but they're just too much fun to create! |
