Playing with Photoshop

I seem to of spent years playing around with photoshop. I have the elements version which is supposed to be the easier version to use. It is such a powerful software and now I am used to using it for my photos I couldn't use anything else. I sometimes just have a play around with it and see what I can create. Today I found a free template on the internet and here is the result.


Here is Mario in a very funky frame. One for my wall I think.

Teddy Bear Party

My next show is an online international one called the Teddy Bear Party. It is being run by www.whoiswho-in-bearmaking.com. It will start on 24th January and run for the weekend. We have all had to make a preview bear. Mine is called Dandy and he is just 10" tall and made from Alpaca. Dandy is from my Hairy Hoodlam range.

Here are some pictures of him.

I hope you get chance to come and have a look when the fair is on as there are bear artists from all over the world involved in it.

There are a good selection of the different styles of bears I create. My little bears are either Little Heart Throbs or Little Uns. My bigger bears are called Hairy Hoodlams ad they have big feet, tummies and noses. 

I hope you like them, Susan x
