Nevada City trinkets

I'm frantically getting ready for my mid-April bear show and it occurs to me that I might not have enough bears to fill my table space. I usually take about eight and since they're big that suits my table fine! But this time I'm behind schedule with them AND working on Boyds stuff (very enthusiastically, I might add) so I want to be sure to have something interesting and bear-related for my table in case I come up short with the teddy bear thing.

I'm enamored of paper arts and mixed media and recently saw some "captured fairies" in a Somerset Studio magazine so I thought, "Why not 'captured teddies?'"

Here's what I came up with on that theme, tries #1 and #2, with more to follow. They'll be part of my table display in Nevada City this April.

Thanks! I can't claim I originated the idea but I sure am enjoying "borrowing" it! I hope they're well received.

Your little bears are so adorable! I love their little faces peeking out of the jars!

Congratulations with your new partnership with Boyds.
