Kiboo

I'd like to introduce, Kiboo the Christmas Panda :o)




Kiboo stands at 31cms (12.2 inches). She's made from Schulte Alpaca with Ultrasuede paw pads, that have been sculpted and airbrushed. She's 5-way wobble jointed.




Her Gingerbread man biscuit has been made from cashmere. The 'icing' has been done with dimensional fabric paint. Kiboo's Christmas hat is made from Panne Velvet that has been lined and trimmed with Alpaca. The holly is made from felt.

If you're interested in making Kiboo, you can purchase the pattern and kits for her from Bear Essence .

A few more...

It's been a while since my last post and alot more bears have been made since. So first off I'll introduce Preston.

He's been made from a Schulte Alpaca. He has has black glass eyes and he's been airbrushed using Copics. His cake has been made from an eco-friendly felt and his hat from a glitter cardstock. If you're interested in making Preston for yourself, his pattern is available in Bear Essence's Bear Tales Vol 6. Kits for Preston and his cake and hat are also available from Bear Essence :o)

Next is Pippa Pig....

She's made from mohair, has Ultrasuede ears and black glass eyes. Her snout has been sculpted from Sculpey onto the face and baked. It's then been painted with acrylics and sealed. Her 'trotters' have been sculpted and airbrushed. I'll be teaching how to make this gorgeous little pig at Bear Essence on 27th November :o)

And then there's my two recently released patterns Pierrot, who is made from the amazing Japanese Alpaca and Mittens, inspired by the Squish design. She is made from Sassy.



I'm in the works of getting a website up and running so I can hopefully get that up before Christmas (fingers crossed). I hope everyone is well.
