I asked k3n to do a wallhanging, using a picture of my granddaughter as the "pattern". I absolutely love, love, love what she did. It was going to go to my son & DIL, but I decided it will stay on a livingroom wall at my house.

K, you did a fantastic job, and I am so touched that you were willing to do this for me.

great job!

So glad you're pleased with it Ducks, I had fun doing it. The crease should drop out when it's hung, especially if you put a thin batten of wood top and bottom in those li'l pockets I put on the back. ;-) :-D

PS I was SO tempted to make a little removable piece of your son's behind! But resisted. :mrgreen:

How cool! Yes I think you should keep it for yourself. May I ask - where was the original photo taken? Interesting to see a bear underwater looking thru a window. We have fish aquariums like that...never seen a "bear aquarium" before :D

How wonderful....I remember when you posted that photo the first time...
I agree...that should stay with you.
We have a viewing window at Lincoln Park Zoo, in Chicago for the polar bears, and have seen then do this, too...

Great job!

Last June we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, in Colorado Springs. There is a really nice area for the grizzlies and a pond that has the lower-level glassed in area. What was so neat was that the bear was real busy "playing" with a floating log (like it was a little twig) when he stopped and slowly floated to the bottom so he could get a good look at Sarah. They stood and studied each other for what seemed like a long time.
