On the Cover: Helen Gleeson of Bare Cub Designs<br />
made little “Poppet” from blush mink, with a pink<br />
undertone and white tips. The cub has glass eyes<br />
with white accents, a handmade clay nose, and the<br />
face has been scissor sculpted to create fluffy cheeks.<br />
Gleeson said she named the 5-inch “Poppet” for the<br />
accessories she made for the bear — a popcorn box<br />
with little clay pieces of popcorn. Check out Gleeson's<br />
creative displays on page 16 and her tips on working<br />
