Bear Stories

I'm a whimsical person. I do creative stuff on a whim. Yesterday was chilly yucky cold icky grey nasty windy ...did I say icky windy and nasty?

Oddly enough the other half had a headache and didn't feel well. I had phone calls and 'business' to take care of and instead of doing my grocery shopping, I stayed at home to keep an eye on the hubby. He wanted me to stay in the house in case he felt worse.

I got restless and sort of bored so I sorted through a DIY site and found some cool ideas for making a 'bark' vase out of a tin can and yeah...bark.

I made a righteous mess and sat on the kitchen floor with my two sided tape and chunks of bark. The two sided tape was a good idea but I eventually got out the old hot glue gun which doesn't work well, but I did manage to 'make' the vases. Which I decided would look better as fake tree trunks with toys than vases.

I tried making a diorama scene and used Groot and Ricky as my posers. I was not fulfilled and it felt like I failed. Meh. Even with messing with it...meh...bleh.

Being quiet and watchful without being obvious is hard. So I decided to browse some ideas regarding Still Life. 
I found some rather interesting Low Key ideas that represented more of a Noir black and white theme with a Teddy Bear.

OHHHH! I went with the black and white theme as this teddy has been washed down my creek more than once and is kind of a yucky mud/white color. I just thought it was neater in B&W.

Bear leaves sand wherever he sits. Pfft. But the coffee was good.

So my brain went off on a tangent and I wondered about Bear meeting someone and how would Bear act?

OH the Romantic side of Bear!

The pink bear is a one eyed cast off bear I found at Walmart a long time ago. It was stuck on a shelf by itself, all of the other ones were sold. I bought her for a $1. I loved that she was so different.

Time to let the bears have some privacy I guess.

[I like the retro faded look I experimented with. Makes it less real and more like a dream.]

The End.
