Jay 'Pierke'

OMG - I totally forgot to post my latest creation on my blog!

Here is 'Pierke' is a jay ( Vlaamse Gaai ) which I have made for some friends of ours who run a Bed&Breakfast in Drenthe in the Netherlands. 

 

They are the kindest people and I like to make them something for their B&B which the call 'De Vlaamse Gaai' . I have made this [link] for them last year.

The jay is made of plush and has a needle-felted face and paws.

I hope you like it!  

Hugs - Mel

'Arthur' the bear

How can I call myself a bear-artist if I have hardly made any bears...?

So than we make a bear =)

This is my bear called ‘Arthur’.

It’s a present for my Mum for Mother’s Day.

( Now I can check out how often she visits my blog... 

Let's see if she finds out about her present before Sunday. ;)  )

Hugs, Mel

 

Update: New work!

I have done some amazing things the last 2 weeks but did not really feel as good as I would like to. I have had some terrible mood swings. I guess it is called stress and it shows itself when you have some days off work.. My poor (future) husband... I am so sorry, my love.

But like I said I have done some amzing things! I went to the Bear and Doll-show in Hasselt - which was kinda small and disapponting. Driving one hour to get there a terrible rain and having seen everything in 30 minutes... but we have had a great ice-cream afterwards!

Last Saturday I went to see Roger Waters in the Gelredome in Arnhem!  This was absolutely amazing!

And yesterday we went to the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel - it's a amusment park. It was not so full of people so you could go through every attraction without a long waiting line. I love the rollercoaster  'Joris en de Draak'. 

But now to my last creation.

Although this piece is already waiting almost a week to get online I could not find the time to take pictures and when you find some time the batteries run out... 

reloaded the batteries, here are some pictures of 'Bits' : 

Love - Mel

                                           

New stuff : 'Rocky' the baby dino

This is my new  little handmade baby dino called 'Rocky'

It's my own dedsign/ pattern. I did some needlefelting on the eyes, mouth and the back of his head.

Hope you like him.

Lots of love - Mel

I'm back!

Hi there,

just got back from the UK! I went to see my sister's (http://likeabluebird.blogspot.com/ ) grad show and on Sunday to the Hugglets Winter Bear Show in London  http://www.hugglets.co.uk/festivalindex.php .

Saw some familiar face of both people and bears. Starting to enjoy these shows!

I have made my sister a piggy for her gratuation as an Animation Director on the NFTS.

Called the piggy 'Lucky' , because she has been very lucky doing this school and making such a great gratuation movie called 'Playing Ghost' . She is gonna be very succesful! 

Here are some pictures of 'Lucky'.

 Bye, bye! Love - Mel

Meet 'Dennis' the Badger

I have been working very hard on a new animal since I have made 'Blueberry' for my boyfriend.

I have made a badger and called him 'Dennis' - like the badger in Doctor Snuggles.

I just started another project and I have to finish it till Thursday... then I'll be visiting my sister in England - looking forward to!!!

Will post some pictures of 'Dennis' now.

Bye, love Mel
