    Default Brown bears and Sea Otters.....oh my!

    Even though I was a slow convert to the method, I love doing these pieces in raw applique. The bear is 15 inches square and the otter is 15x20. It does take about a day to cut all the pieces. I draw on freezer paper and then cut for hours in the sun. Elmer's glue tacks them together until I anchor them on the backgrounds. I believe both these pieces appeared as kits a while back a well.
    Enjoy.
