Teddy Bear Making Kit

I have decided I want to make a some special celebrations Teddy Bears this year. I have found the perfect bear pattern and bought some gorgeous fur to make them with, but before I dive straight in I thought it would be a good idea to have a practice run. And so, I bought traditional teddy bear kit, and this is how it went:

You get everything you need to make the Teddy

COLLECT: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects

 

Another great collection of contemporary art at this year's COLLECT held at the Saatchi Gallery. Filled with loads of fantastic stuff these are a few artist that really stood out:

Pippin Drysdale - Joanna Bird. stand 2.1, ground floor

These are just simply beautiful. The colours, the forms, I love everything about them. I just wanted to touch them, they have that sort of effect as they look so soft and, well, scrumptious.


Jeanne Opgenhaffen - Design Flanders. stand 3.1, ground floor

I like how this delicate porcelain looks so soft and almost textile. It expresses so much movement through its construction. It's simply beautiful.


Kazuhito Takadoi - jaggedart. stand 5.1, ground floor

 

Working with hand picked grasses, which are then dried and woven, twigs and leaves, everything is natural. I really like this artists work and because the materials are all natural, as they continue to dry there will be subtle colour changes which add further interest to the artworks.
