I actually encountered her early on during my year of skull making and I think I was so impressed by how great her work was that I didn't even try doing a needle felted skull of my own! See more of her fantastic work HERE.

Teddy Bear Skull
Artist Stephanie Metz shared one of her amazing needle felted pieces: Ursulus lenis 4.5”x 6.75”x 5”, 2007. She says Ursulus lenis is her, "made-up Latin name for this particular species of teddy bear, which translates to genus 'Small bear' species 'smooth', so named for the source teddy."

Incomparable work! Having 2 young kids with teddy bears will make me look at them in a new way now.

WOW! That's cool! *can't wait to get home and cut open my sons teddy bear!*
ReplyDeleteOnce again the skill and creativity exhibited by participants on the Skull-a-Day project blows my mind. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I have to see how that is done. Not that I'd be able to, mind you, but out of curiosity. It's a cat thing.
ReplyDeleteNikoli: that was pretty funny!
Great work! Cuddly and creepy at once.
