Pairs and Pairs of Pears


Cottagewood General Store

As a 'selling' artist, I'm always trying to think ahead as to what will be the next 'popular' item to create and sell. As always, I use one of my favorite mediums, wool. I just started making these adorable little pears just before the 08' holiday season to sell at the Cottagewood General Store' s Holiday Boutique in Deephaven, Minnesota. They were a HUGE HIT! The owner called to let me know I needed to make more. How fun and satisfying was THAT?! Even after the holiday, I'm continuing to make more in different colors and varying sizes.
