Angel Bear

[Just Carving]

I got the inspiration to carve an angel teddy bear. So I made a sketch on Monday, roughed it out on Tuesday, and finished carving it last night. Then I applied a coat of gesso. Hopefully, I'll be painting it tonight--as soon as I decide what colors to use.

I carved the angel bear in 3/8" basswood. I wanted to get a handle on the details front and back--so, it's more of a relief carving. The front turned out well, the back not so well. Now, I'm carving another one that's 2 1/2" tall in a piece of 7/8" thick aspen. This one will be a pin and it will be carved in the round.

Hi Bob,

That came out very nicely and I'm impressed by how quickly you did it.

Re: Angel Bear

Just finished painting the angel bear. Probably spray it with gloss lacquer tomorrow.

Re: Angel Bear

Thanks Ron. The bears go quickly once you have a routine for doing them. And of course, I enjoy doing them, so they go that much faster!

Hi Bob,

That's real nice painted.

I guess they also go faster when you're motivated. I read your other post. Congratulations.

Re: Angel Bear

Thanks Forrest. I always appreciate a kind word about my work.

As promised, here's a PDF of the patterns. Print the sheet to fit the page and you should end up with a 3" tall, a 2 1/2" tall, and a 2" tall angel bear.

Enjoy!

Bob
