First ideas came from making a paper version of my bear Stanley, but that soon developed into adding another laying giving him cotton wool stuffing and essentially making that 2D paper bear into a 3D paper model. I used this idea for my exhibition jar. I made a little Stanley placed him in the jar and created a scenery for him. I made it look like he was on the beach, I added some shells, I created a sandcastle and a deck chair. The outcome was very lovely. It all looks very sweet, like a story from a book. It feels like I have captured a chapter of the story and frozen the moment in the jar.
After my jar was a success I wanted to make more teddies so I decided to hand make some more for all my friends. I changed the nose into a more oval shaped bead. and I also added another update. I used a range of different patterns on paper for the back with relate to each of my friends in a certain way. I then decided to add a 'to and from' tag. I think they came out very well and I am very pleased with the result and so was my friends.
