Elizabearth I

This Bear has taken me along time to do.

I had only been doing a small amount at a time whenever I have fancied doing so, especially as I wanted to make her particularly good. So she was made over a two year period.

She is my interpretation of Queen Elizabeth I - as seen in the painting that is now in the National Portrait Gallery that was painted in 1592.
