Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thanks ladies 

Hello all, this is my latest bear, Candy Floss. She is 16.5'' tall, made of Schulte kid mohair. She is available directly from me (no eBay etc.). 

Thanks for looking 

I must agree with all the comments above, Ma'Sal creations are the most amazing creations I've ever seen and they are a great source of inspiration for me!   :clap:  :clap:

What a great idea! I would also separate hobbyists and profesionals to keep the "quality" of the bears level in the swap pairs... The size doesn't matter to me.

Anyway, I'm in!

Iva

Thanks, Ann-Marie and Robert! 

Thanks ladies! 

Hi all, please meet Chocolate, a 35cm panda in chocolate and pale pink:

She wears a handpainted silk ribbon in chocolate and raspberry. Yummy 

Chocolate has been adopted.

Bear hugs,

Iva

Love the green one!

Thanks ladies

They are beautiful! 

Hi all, please meet Janubeary, finished today, the fourth bear from my month-themed edition. Obviously, this bear was inspired by January and it's snow. Janubeary has been adopted.

Bear hugs,

Iva

Matilda, they are both awesome!  Love Riley's mohair!

Great job, Ann-Marie! I love the yellow bear especially

Hi Peta, thanks for this thread! I was absolutely delighted with the bear I got from Ann-Marie (BearMeToo)  I believe that she liked my bear as well :pray:

Thanks for organizing this swap, it was so much fun  :clap:  :clap:

Beth, the Norwich terrier is so beautiful and I also love Olivia, the needle felted bunny from Nichole, great job ladies!  :clap:

I miss TT so much these days, I don't have much time to pop here as I have exams at the university...

Couldn't resist to post this pic... 

The Golden retriever puppy is 5 weeks old and her father is a dog bred in our kennel -- Show Champion Fairy Jack is Friendly.

Hugs,

Iva

Here are some more pics of Rosie I took today:

Beautiful, isn't she?   

Iva

Rosie is absolutely beautiful!   Thanks so much for her, Ann-Marie, you did a fabulous job on her. :clap:  :clap: The pics you posted really don't do her justice (no offence against your photographing skills :angel:), she is much more pink and has such a sweet personality 

Iva

Thanks ladies 

Hi all, Ann-Marie got the bear yesterday so I can post the pics here! I cannot wait to see the bear she made for me, it should arrive very soon!  :pray:  :pray:

So please meet Viola, she is 26 cm tall, made of German mohair, with glass eyes and scissor sculpted shaded and painted face.

Hugs,

Iva

Tami, he is beautiful! I love the fur too and the paw pads are stunning!  :clap:  :clap:

I would try line drying (in this case drying not the main goal ) the mohair... I'm working with a piece of mohair that smells like some perfume and it's quite irritating because it's quite strong... I've already bought it with the smell...

Hi all, my husband is going to Salt Lake City (to a conference with a scientific paper) in March and I would like to have some profit too So is there any store with bearmaking supplies in Salt Lake?

Thanks a lot
