BEYOND CUTE!

SHY GUY is a small Walking bear whose innocence captures your heart on first glance.

With his head down and slightly turned, he could be very tired, (he may have been playing with his brothers and sisters) or he could be getting ready to have a nap.

Anita has found a stunning stone from which to carve our young friend.

Its soothing, soft caramel colour is augmented with very subtle pale circles of a lighter caramel.

I'm not sure I have seen this colour pattern before.

What magic placed one of the "circles" on the tip of his nose?

Shy has a real "Teddy Bear" style that is irresistible!

Did you notice that Shy's facial features are more suggested than real?

This means his face is carved in the Abstract style.

The piece is truly one of a kind!!!
