Rose Bear...a dedication....

Little Girl "Rose" Bear

Rose Bear is lovingly dedicated to my wonderful Mother 'Rose' who has been an inpiration to me and many other hearts in this world. She truly lives up to her beautiful name~

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~Abraham Lincoln

Rose bear was created from a classic 'Teddy Bear Brown' faux fur. Her charming dress set the stage for her simple accessories of roses and ribbons. The rose red and moss green diamond checkered pattern on her handmade dress captured my imagination and thus the roses were born into her little bear attire.

I loved the brilliant contrast of her toasty brown fur against the deep, rich rose red of her flowers similar to the color combinations in this forest photo. I adore and employ often colors and textures that deeply contradict each other yet have a flirty compliment to one another.

Rose's little girly dress even has a little peek-a-boo hole in the very back so she can easily poke her tiny bear tail through and wag to her delight!


Rose Bear is a medium size of 12" tall and such a huggable and lovable little girl.

I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights. ~Adabella Radici


A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving

Thank you mom for all that you do, who you are, and who you have helped me to become!

Angora Angel Bear

Next from Bramblewood Studio

A pure white Angora Angel Bear
known as
'Purity'

Purity was created from the softest fur on earth, pure white Angora wool!

Purity did not begin as an angel bear. When her finished self lay completed in my hands, she seemed to want something more. I thought of different fun accessories, but nothing quite fit her elegance and regality (another of my made-up words, I may soon post Tomi's Dictionary and Thesaurus so you can actually make sense of my thoughts :)), until I found an old pair of dilapidated angel wings stored forgotten under heaps of craft and art goodies.








"The purity of a person's heart can be quickly measured by how they regard animals"



"The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity."
~Mohandas Ghandi






Now, Purity Bear needed wings of utmost distinction. Upon the top of her long white feathers I coupled angora fur making them billowy soft and adding an effect of the wings 'grown' from her bear body and look to be an actual appendage.




















It is sometimes thought that animals are angels in disguise.

They love unconditionally without regard to nobility or appearance.

No one has known a more loyal companion.

They live their lives happily in service to their masters.

Simple acts of affection bring sheer delights of wagging tails.
~yours truly


I made for Purity a pink and white tutu and halo both accentuated with bright pink velvet flowers and ribbons.



All God's angels come to us disguised. ~James Russell Lowell

O welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!
