Donita Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I haven't done a cane for about 10 months. So many people are having trouble and I have been trying to help all of you. I did this bear cane today. It took about 3 minutes to embed the photo. It is perfect. See......it can be done. I just practiced a long time ago and learned what to expect. I followed my own instructions to a letter and this is what I got....except I need a new camera obviously. I am looking for one...anyway...here is the candle and the picture of how the bear really looks. The bear was in the tree across from Fiamma, our restaurant, a few years ago. I was so lucky to find this picture. The photographer didn't know where it was, but a woman in town had it. I am doing a group of bear canes for her new store, Mountain Critters. Keep practicing students. It really can be done and it isn't hard.....Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspencreek Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 That is a pretty darn good picture, I love bears. Yes, I agree if you follow instructions they are pretty darn easy to do. Thanks for sharing your great work as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Cool bear. Looks like it wants to say 'Hey I'm just hanging out. What's your problem?' Glad you are back into 'canes. Good Luck with the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalamazoo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have always admired your work Donita, and love your canes. The bear is beautiful and I am sure the bear series will do very well. (Gosh, wish I could just pop over to that store to check it out.) I just have to get all the right ingredients together and then you will have another student to help!

Donita Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Thanks for the compliments. I am working on "bear prints in the snow" today. The candles will have greeting cards to match. Another reason for this post is that I ordered my first molds from Peak. Since all of the wasted time and money on the Pourette thread, I ordered from Alan. I love the molds and the service. Order from them. IMO.....Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leesters Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Its perfect. For a newbie who really is attracted to canes, this is inspiring. Thanks for posting this Donita. The black frame makes the perfect border.In fact that border gave me a great idea on how to solve my scotch-tape-or-glue problem on the wrap around project. Thanks!
