#12 Teddy Bear Heaven
I mean c'mon...Is there really anything better then teddy bears?
I was already excited about getting the
Italian Peltro pewter boy and girl figurines. And then I won the auction for a shelf filled with pewter pieces including some adorable Spoontique teddy bears.
Naturally I stopped what I was supposed to be doing and instead went running to my work
table and got busy!
I used Uroboros Cream Granite glass for the
scope along with decorative soldering. I loved the granite texture because it really did look
like the fur of a teddy bear.
I had recently acquired a pewter train and tracks. The tracks were perfect...
I used the warmth of my hands to slowly shape the railroad track to curve to the scope.
After adding all of the teddy bears I added the final piece...a lovely vintage silver
teddy bear necklace.
