More bears and other things

[amberdreams]

Yesterday I had a day off painting to flit off to London to the Heroes and Villains convention (more a mini comic con event than a JIB) where I got a photo op with the lovely John Barrowman, and Katie Cassidy. The poor girl left SPN behind her years ago, but got two SPN hobbits plastered to her slim sides when 99.9% of the other fans were there for Arrow. Never mind!

Here's the glorious Barrowman, flashing his knees for us.

And here we are with the glamorous Katie

The best part of this con was meeting up with jj1564 and her sister Brenda, as I hadn't seen them for ages.

And we did see three Arrows and a Flash in the cafe... LOL


Today it was back to work on the bear, mainly trying to neaten up the rough edges. I need to add a few more leaves down one side, which is looking a bit empty at the moment, and finish off the eyes, but I think other than that, he's practically finished. Just as well as I have to give him two coats of varnish before the end of the week.
I have to tip him backwards to lean on Paul's chair so I can paint the lower parts!

The snake now has scales

The butterfly is just about done

As is the scarlet rumped trogon (god, I love that name!)

I'm hoping this yucky con-crud will ease up tomorrow too, as my eyes are getting sore from all the coughing.

Yay for the con and yay for the bear - he's looking more and more awesome each time you post!

Aw thanks! I think he's nearly done. At last!
