On July 10, Once Upon a Needle met in Lincoln, NE to brainstorm ideas for our joint auction piece for the 2011 Kansas City Jubilee in September. We all brought fur from our stashes and chose our fur and pattern. We planned accessories and who would do what to put this piece together. I think we have a great plan and it will be a fun piece.
Those of you who have attended the KC Jubilee in years past will remember the fun joint pieces Terri and I would do for the Good Bears of the World auction. Daniel Epley often came up with the initial idea for those pieces and we would run with it. Often, Terri’s dad, Dick Chloupek, would contribute by making an accessory for us in his wood shop. My tiny bears would often be dressed the same as Terri’s big bear or would cavort in one of the accessories – tiny elvish bears inside the clock maker’s clock, wild animals hatching from eggs, a diminutive raccoon chocolate thief buried in Hershey wrappers in a vintage Hershey box…
This piece will be a bit different with the addition of Joel, but it will be just as fun!
