Yes, I'm already thinking of Christmas! Saturday at the Farmer's Market I came across a wonderful little book, written by Tad Bear. "A Bear's Tale", is a Native American nativity story about why the bears in the night sky, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, have long tails and how they relate to the birth of Jesus Christ.
Of course, my imagination went wild and I decided I had to sculpt a little bear to give as a gift along with the book. These little bears will be cast in marble resin (white) and made into an ornament to hang on the Christmas tree. A small rhinestone will be set in the end of the tail to represent the North Star.
