Why
did you chose this character? : I chose this character because
Mary Poppins(Julie Andrews) was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre.
We were living in Japan so the movie had Japanese subtitles but I remember
thinking it was just the most amazing thing I had ever seen and since then
the movie and Julie Andrews have always held a special place in my heart.
Additional
comment / experience while making the bear you want to add:Making
the bear was so much fun and reminded me of happy times. My second biggest
challenge was making her umbrella. I had in my mind that I must make
one that opens and closes. I was finally successful but the one in the
picture just stays open. My biggest challenge was taking her photo. I very
much wanted to give the information that she was flying and tried many
times. Finally our good friend Anita Ekelo from Holland suggested I suspend
her and get her to cast a shadow. I did and right away I knew the picture
would be perfect.
