Linda Panattoni has created these adorable 'torn bear' paper crafts, based on the bears in Craft Clipart 1: Bears/Miscellaneous set. She writes:

'The bears are done in applique method. You use Handmade paper or Handmade Mulberry (that's the name of the paper). It looks like handcast paper you get at the scrapbook store. I got some on line via ebay.

You trace the pieces onto the backside of the paper, then you wet around your traced line. You then need to hold your thumb on the line and pull away from you with the other hand to get the furry look. I then use chalk to go around the torn pieces. I use a dry stencil brush and brush outwards. If you have ever done fabric applique it is the same piecing method. The technique is very simple.'
