Teddy Bears

A few years ago, my niece gave me a tin mold of a teddy bear, I have always used it as a decoration until now :)   I was going through some boxes, looking for something and I came across some cotton linter paper that I had bought years ago at Michael's.  I decided to try it in the bear mold and it worked really well!  After he dried enough to come out of the mold, I trimmed him and gave him a sealer coat so he could be painted.  I decided to use gouache and I love the results!  I am going to make a bunch of them and string a garland......
