Creative Tuesdays - Teddy Bear Reflection

Hope you had a wonderful Easter!

It's time for MMm's Creative Tuesdays.  The theme this week is 'Pastel Colours'.

This is an 8.5 by 11 inch mixed media piece.  I used construction paper, acrylics and tracing paper (the white pieces) to do this Teddy Bear Reflection.  My husband M didn't 'get it', I hope you do!


I found a nice quote to go with it:

For light I go directly to the source of the light, not to any of the reflections - Peace Pilgrim

Teddy Bear Reflection


If you're curious as to how I went about this, read on.

I was inspired by these old stickers I was using to make some quick Easter gift tags. First, I made a teddy bear stencil and then cut some pastel coloured bears out of construction paper. I glued them to yellow and blue construction paper and then painted a light tan colour under the bears. The final step was to glue strips of tracing paper to simulate rippling water.

The other day I noticed the paper had folded over, and I liked the way it showed the reflection more clearly, what do you think?
