This book was written by me, and was published in 1997 by North Light Books. Your copy will be signed, and can be personalized as well.

Review from the Library Journal:
Miniature teddy bears standing only three inches high are a recent entry in the world of collectible stuffed toys. They are made, exhibited, and sold in a relatively closed world of aficionados and command prices that seem astounding to outsiders. Kesling, a professional bear-maker, creates her own designs and devises original techniques for solving construction problems that come with miniaturization. In this delightful book, she has ten fully illustrated, step-by-step projects for bears and one bunny, along with information on going into business as a bear-maker.

This is still the best book on the market for learning this craft, no doubt!

Tropical Twist is a festive, happy work kof art --- Notice the lighting reflections that give it a happy face? The colors are totally delicious: Lemon-lime, purple and intense black! It's truly Tinkalicious!

This vessel is crafted from fine European glass using traditional hot shop techniques that I have adapted for use at the torch. Unlike "vessel shaped beads" or the like, this is true blown art glass.

This blown vessel will hold a substantial amount of your favorite essential oil, Texas Pete or Mohito mix. This singular work comes with a natural cork stopper (size #00). Use of a natural cork as opposed to rubber protects against degradation, no matter WHAT you decide to keep inside this functional work of art.

Vessel measures 32mm tall from its luscious lip wrap to its perfectly tapered tip.

Comes with cork stopper, as shown. Chain not included.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE:

While this vessel is not fragile, it *is* made of glass. Treat it as you would any treasured glass object. If you ever lose your cork, you can replace it with another size #00 cork.

PAYMENT OPTIONS:

PayPal or Credit Card (AmEx, Discover, MasterCard, Visa) cheerfully accepted! Let me know if you'd like to pay with a credit card via secure ProPay link by choosing OTHER as your payment method and letting me know you wish to pay with a credit card. I'll send your secure payment link right away!
