Teddy-Bears Picnic

Description

I have a collection of strawberry themed things myself, and with that in mind thought of afternoon tea and teddy bears picnic and how it would suit the bear sculpture well. The blue checks are just a contrast to the strawberries and something different instead of your typical red picnic blanket, but there’s still a nod to that as the bears scarf instead. The choice for a strawberry themed tea set and cake was inspired by a Victoria sponge being a very typical cake served with tea. The placement of everything is meant to suggest that the cake is getting eaten as you walk round the bear.
