Playing with clay...

We tried out paper clay molding today... it was loads of fun and pretty easy ~ even for a complete newbie like myself...

Here's one of mine.

And here are some of the molds we're going to be using during cookie (and clay) class on Saturday...

Can't wait!

Ready to play bears!

It's going to be a FANTASTIC week of bear making at Mostly Bears!

Our class kits arrived in the mail today...

...and it looks as if it's going to be a very COLORFUL week as well.

Stay tuned for the Adventure!

Day two of Bobbie Ripperger's Needle Felted Roly Poly Panda Class...

We needled...

And needled...

And, um, added our own unique touches...

We learned from the master...

And look what happened!

Tomorrow... Let the MAGIC begin~ Steve Schutt Santa Bear Class. Tune in for pics & details.

Day 3: Choose Your Own Adventure

The bears are nearly finished, looking dapper and grand,
Tails, ears, eyes and all the details in hand,
Bear making class is winding down,
Pretty soon, Steve will be blasting out of this town!
(We'll miss you Steve! Have fun!) :)

Steve Schutt Choose Your Own Adventure...day 2

The bears started out in a big furry bunch,
But today their bellies will look like they've had a big lunch,
They've got arms, legs and feet and some pretty big toes-es,
By the end of the day, they'll have awesome new noses!
(Hee hee hee...) The magic continues! :)

It's a beautiful morning!

Steve Schutt Adventure 2008 is here...let the mayhem...er..I mean...let the Magic begin!
