Studio Buzz

Pengy hug
See me on pengpengbears flickr

Here's a fun group pic from the Pengy archives of bears I made for Abracadabra UK shop a few years ago. The wide bear was the 1st "Buddah Bear" I ever made! (BTW, he is made of Schulte cotton string fabric and it is a real challenge to work with!).
Perhaps a few like him will be appearing by Springtime on my website! Also on the near horizon- *new creations* for Abracadabra coming soon!

Other studio buzz: Do I hear the rumbling of a new Ellie Herd coming? YES! You asked for 'em and so new mohair elephants are in the works in a fabulous array of colors! Trumpets of Joy!

enjoy the week and talk again soon.. pp

Scone anyone?

MMmmm... whats that in the Eazy Bake oven? A delicious bear-sized scone! Thanks to collector A.R. for sending these delightful 'kitchen adventure' pics of her Peng Peng bear "Lili"~ she's become quite the domestic goddess (check this previous post)
Bring a plate~ there's plenty for everyone :)
