EDM challenge 6: well-loved toy


My teddy bear had a slightly different muzzle, but like this one, his stuffing got flattened and soft. His skin developed odd creases. A prophesy of aging in all of us.

I knew I was loved when I left Teddy in a motel while on vacation and my parents drove back a full hour to retrieve him for me. I admit, hysterical crying was a factor.

Process: watersoluble ink and watercolor on 90# paper.
