Outdoor Photography with Walnut

Today is such a nice day, great weather, I love the sun and it's so cooling =)
Hence, I bought Walnut to the nearby park for outdoor photography and with the help of my friend, here are some of the pictures.

I am not vain... LOL... these pictures are requested by the administrator of the Bear Artists Online & The ACD Awards for magazine and website.



Have you voted for your favourite animal/creations yet? Click on this link: http://www.bearartistsonline.com/tacdavoting.htm
What's more all the critters will be available for adoption too!

I am proud to say Walnut is one of the 10 nominees chosen by the judges, he has given me more confidence to take up future bear making competitions.

Here are some of the pictures of Walnut that I want to share with you again, I hope you will enjoy these pictures.




Time flies, tomorrow is Monday again. Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!

Anndrina is now available on Bear Pile

Greeting to all my friends,

I want to introduce a new bear in Wayneston Town, here is Anndrina the pink bear =)
She is approximate 8.5" tall, made of soft light pink mohair. She wears a ruffle and is now available on Bear Pile.




This week, I have received the 2011 TACDA Nominee award trophy and Walnut the squirrel is back home after the hand of judging. I have also received the wonderful and helpful feedbacks from 3 judges. Each of them has given me professional critiques on my creation, these comments are very important to me and will help to improve on my bear making skills. I would like to thanks the 3 judges for the lovely comments too =) You made my day!

Now that I have received Walnut and the trophy, I need to take a nice picture of myself with them...hopefully this could be done this week! I will share more pictures with you when they are done.

We wish you a blessed and wonderful weekend!
Hugs, Wayne

Wayneston Baby Brownie

Baby Brownie is a new Wayneston Baby, he is made of soft dense brown mohair and I have made him a green mohair base, I know he would be happy to lie or sit on it.

I am feeling hungry and thought of Brownie when I finish him... hence, he has got this name!
He is now available and looking for new dad/mum. You may view more pictures of him in Bear Pile.

I am now working on a few bears for the "Bears on Parade" online show. More updates here when the date is near!

Have a beautiful day everyone =)



Hurray I have won this!

Isn't this wonderful? I just checked my email and realised that I have won a give-away from Julius King Designs! Yippee! What a lucky day! Can't wait to see this piece of soft pink faux fur... I am wondering how cute a Wayneston Bear will look with this beautiful fur =)

Thank you Bec!

Walnut is nominated in the Australasian Creative Design Awards!

Before I left for my trip to Thailand, I have working hard on this squirrel named Walnut specially for the ACDA competition. He has made me proud because he has been selected as one of the nominated pieces!

This is my first time entering a competition, I am pretty nervous and surprise that he has been nominated =)
Now that the hands of judging is over, we are allowed to show our pieces =)

This year's competition theme is for create something with the inspiration from the works of Beatrix Potter.
It's kinda difficult for me, however I decide to pick up this challenge because I love to create critters!

I hope you enjoy viewing Walnut and you can now view all the nominated animals here and vote for your favourite here.

Walnut
Wayne and Walnut wishing everyone a wonderful Friday and weekend =)
Hugs....
