Christmas cards and craftiness

So here’s the moment you all (all three of you) have been waiting for….my 8 Christmas cards. Remember when I started on the cards? I hadn’t glued them together and tied the ribbon until tonight. I plan on making more than these 8 (and different styles.) It’s a plan, but it may not happen.

And this happens to be a piece I painted last Tuesday at ceramics class. My friend Mai helped my ceramics teacher Marie put the mechanical stuff into the bear last night, so the bear actually moves his arm and blows bubbles! My stepmom collects all things bear, and I painted this for her Christmas gift. (Hope she doesn’t read this now!!)
