Today I had the fun of sharing my gorgeous Holly bear with 5 lovely ladies, one of whom had never painted before….they all did such a wonderful job!<\/p>\n

Studio was all ready for my students to arrive….I’d even made a coffee and walnut cake, which when you’re being good is very tough!<\/p>\n

I demonstrated how to stipple the paints to create fur and we then chose papers for our hat boxes which we shaded and embellished. \u00a0We inked and stamped our shop signs, added a button to our hat boxes and a flower to our hats.<\/p>\n

I think you’ll agree their bears are fab….all so individual too with personal shop names and co-ordinated hats and boxes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My Holly’s Hat Shop pattern will be available to purchase in my shop very soon, so if you fancy painting her at home why not buy yourself the pattern pack with step by step photos, colours used and techniques explained.<\/p>\n

Til next time….<\/p>\n
