I love the implied complexity to this surface simplicity.

Absolutely love it!! It's a tender, warm side to the aging of something very precious; instead of the fear of losing one we love.
Nicely done.

Well done. I really like the string hanging from it's mouth. A subtle yet vital detail.

What a kind representation of the topic. I like the "stamped" effect... did you do this digitally or "by hand"...

I did the lines in illustrator and the color in photoshop.

Thank you to everyone who left a comment. I loved reading all of you kind words.

Poor old bear...it reminds me of the old grey stuffed kittie I've had since I was born. She sleeps on the bed in the guestroom. I like the little details...the thread hanging from the mouth, the bits of stuffing coming out, the tilted head...and I like the simplicity of the lines and colors.
