Meet "Artist On The Go" by Sue Bleiweiss

Sue's bear is ready for her next outing. This smart girl is wearing a jacket and hat in case of inclement weather.  She has also brought along a backpack filled with supplies should she be hit by the need to create.

 

Artist On The Go was constructed with Sue's hand dyed 100% cotton fabric, the only exception being the denim for the jacket. She even comes with her own handmade blank sketchbook and a custom made backpack filled with a set of colored pencils, Sue's Coloring Book Fabric Collage DVD, a copy of Easy Fabric Dyeing: solids & tone on tone prints book, a package of Mistyfuse, a mini Goddess pressing sheet and seven of her hand-dyed cotton fat quarters.

Star Members can watch Sue in Show 1608: Creating Unique Collage Quilts & Quilts with Meaning (along with Thomas Knauer)

This is a very cute bear. I used to make bears with mohair and I tried a fur bear ( with recycled fur) but never thought about making them with fabric. Maybe when I can sew better I will try one with cotton fabric. Very good job can't wait to see how the rest will look.
I like the way you did this bear its a very nice style, fun with a touch of class :-). Good Luck on your bids for this great cause!!!
