Gone Golfing Papertole

Gone Golfing is from USA. Paper size 10" x 4". I uses 7 sheets to make it into 3D look. Frame set is more expensive though. The whole completed project cost breakdown at:
7 sheets - S$10.50
Frame - $320.00
Workmanship cost during class: $20 x 10 - $200
Total cost: $530.50
Wow, an expensive hobby for papertole due to the frame. Maybe next time should consider making a smaller one instead.

Hugs of Bears

See those cute little Bears? They are from the Alicia's Class. We moved to Mint Museum due to renovation at Spotlight. Some of the bears are mine and some belongs to the students but they have yet to finish their bears in time, so they have to bring them home to finished it. We will be able to see the completed bears next month. Anyone still not interested to do hand-sewn a furry bear for yourself or your darling loved ones??

August Furry Bears

Born on 6th August09, Thursday = Siro, 8" long lying down sleeping most of the time. He looks so comfortable. He has polyester filling and pellets for his tummy. His head and limbs are fully jointed with 25 cm disk cotter pins joint. His fur is synthetic fur and he has brown glass eyes. I particularly enjoy making him because of his different position of his arms and legs. Very interesting bear. Will make a bigger one next time.

Born on 7th August09, Friday = Meet my 3 "A"s - Alberto, 11" tall made of dense fur with pvc leather for palm and foot pad. He is musculine, looks very familiar, right? Found out that its from Star Wars trilogy, the ewok, caravan of courage. He looks just like the ewoks! He is fully disk jointed with screws so that he can stand up straight and carry the bunnies. He has an open mouth too.

Also meet Adele (pink) 6" tall and Alonzo (blue) 5" tall bunnies, measurement including the ear. Love this cute little bunnies with a striking synthetic fur color. They are sewn at the joint area. No pins nor screws!

Born on 8th August09, saturday = Basso, 14" tall made from dense fur and has glass pellets in his legs and tummy. He is very soft and huggable as his fur is silky smooth. Basso's leg is fully sewn on to his body and thus do not need any joint. Basso means italian for "fat" as he looks like it. His head and arms are screwed on with disk joint.
