A Treasured Teddy Bear...Friends To The End!

A Treasured Friend   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011

I'm sure we can all remember a special teddy bear, doll or some cuddly friend that we had growing up...and maybe still have today! That was part of the inspiration behind my latest Pop Art Mini "A Treasured Friend"!

Red, white and blue...tried and true!

A Treasured Friend till the end!

Did you have a favorite or treasured and cuddly friend growing up? 

Shared over at Sweet Saturdays...check out the fun!

A Teddy Bear Treasure and A Big Eyed Beauty...A Work In Progress

A cuddly teddy friend and a big eyed girl

I thought I'd give this theme a Pop Art Mini whirl
Timeless treasures...totally true friends
Always there through thick and thin!
  A big star bow, stripes...red, white and blue
Pops of color before I'm through!
The pencil sketch begins like this

Details, shading little things I don't want to miss!

Now let the coloring begin...Snap, Crackle, POP!

Once I get started it's hard to stop!

So stay tuned as the adventure continues to unfold

A story of true friends...one that never gets old!

Wishing you a weekend filled with adventures and time spent with true treasured friends!

Inspired by Illustration Friday Word of the Week...STIR!

Decided to "stir" up a little fun and create a Pop Art Mini design to toss into this weeks Illustration Friday mix.

A lazy little bear...

It seems without a care

Is stirring up some fun

But may have the fish on the run!

Hope you "stir" up a some fun this weekend too!

Happy Illustration Friday!
