About Me

My photo
I am a teddy bear artist by profession. I also play rhythm guitar with a local bluegrass band on weekends that I am not off to teddy bear shows. I have a very funny papillon named PJ. He is 10 years old and he keeps me mobile by making me take him walking every day. I love antiquing and use many of my finds for my teddy bears. I am just starting to do mixed media artwork and collage. You can find some of my things my website:www.marthasbears.com

Local ARt fair

Well, I am participating in a local art fair this Saturday with Teddy Bears and Jewelry.  Weather looks like it will cooperate.  Why am I nervous?  I've been doing shows FOREVER! I should not be nervous.
Sigh!
