Just when you thought I’d given up on the bears I make a real sweet heart! Olave is a bit of a cheat I did half of her before breaking my hand and then just finished her off this weekend.
Her badge and colours are that of the Senior S
ection – no not a bunch of OAPs but the name of the section of Girlguiding UK for 14 -26 year olds that I work with.
She’s named after Olave Baden-Powell – the wife of Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell and the original Chief Guide.
On a technical note I needlefelted her muzzle, used Ezy-Wax on her nose to make it shine and dyed the mohair with Kool-Aid.
