Miniature Bear......

....... in a miniature cup.

They are about two inches in height (5cm).  I made the little bear.  Some years ago miniature bear making was a big craze here in Australia.

There were Bear shows everywhere, and books and magazines galore on the subject.  I even ran my own little line of bears for a while.  I went to several shows a year and even had articles about me in magazines.

Unfortunately, it's all died a death.  Even the shops where I used to buy my fabrics are now all on-line.

Still, it was good whilst it lasted and I really enjoyed my time in the bear industry.
