A Baking Day!

Today I took a break from bear making and made a yummy cake!

Vanilla sponge with strawberry jelly with whipped cream frosting and rather clumsily decorated with melted chocolate.. it might not look perfect but it sure is delicous!

I am also working on a bear with many joints... elbows, knees, double jointed head..

It's a long process, there are so many parts to keep track of and I have to remember what to do with everything! Photos soon, I am sure!

Oshka the Donkey

My first ever mohair creation! Her name is Oshka, she is Oshek's sister.
She is daintier than him with more delicate features.
I was a little worried at first using mohair for the first time but it cut & sewed like a dream, tiny stitches are a must and I sealed everything to prevent fraying, all of the techniques I ususally apply to faux furs worked for the mohair and I can't wait to use some more!
