Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

:clap: I wish some of the book stores carried the magazine

Ah that's so cute! Great job  :clap:

Finally I get a break from dogs LOL

A custom ordered white bellied caique
Needle felted wool over wire with hand-painted glass eyes
About 3" not counting tail

Ah thanks!

Depending on the supplier sometimes if it says 8mm eyes it's talking about the iris only & not the whole eye, so be careful of that & it's good to ask the company.  I once ordered what I thought was 16mm eyes total around and it was just the iris so the whole eye was more like 22mm 
Also I glue my flat back eyes in.  I have done dragons where I cut sockets and then glue the eyes from the back side but it's more work than it's worth I think  I've used both needle felted and leather eyelids
And I get my eyes from http://www.glasseyesonline.com/

I've used copic markers to shade them in or simply glued them into place.

So I have a Brother 50 Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine It's not the best machine in the world at only $130 from wal-mart but I've been super happy with it so fare.  My question is does anyone own a Pfaff machine?  My grandmother has an older one (not sure of the model) but it's computerized and from around the 90's give or take & she wants to trade machines.

So I know Pfaffs are high in cost but are they good for bear & stuffed animal making.  I really like that my brother has the anti-bunch bobbin feature but I know the Pfaff cab embroider (which isn't something I really do) So would it be a good trade?

So any help would be great thanks!

Thanks!  They are each about 4" tall at the ears.

Thanks so much! I gave him super bad posture

I've been making dogs like crazy

Wow she's pretty.  That color looks amazing

Ah what I've been up to I worked out a deal for a dog rescues fund raiser.  I'm making then rescue 20 dogs all Norwegian Elkhounds
I have 3 so fare

I use Navajo-Churro too for my core it's also sometimes called mandala wool too.  It's a nice off white, and then I felt with mohair or Merino on top.  For larger things I make a soft sculpt body out of muslin stuffed with poly-fil then just felt my wool on top.

Meet "Billy"
He's made from curly brown mohair and has a wobble head joint. And shoe button eyes.  I wanted to make a very antique style bear :)
He's about 11" tall when standing
For sale!

Thanks everyone!

oh wow that's cute!! 

My first big bunny!  He's about 15" tall counting his big ears. 
I went a little crazy when I designed the pattern so the head has 8 parts 
So I'll be doing a redesign for sure if I make another one & I think I need to make the feet a bit bigger.
Made with faux fur & felt

Hi everyone I just wanted to check to see if anyone would be interested in being part of a banner link exchange.  Basically I but your banner on my website & you put my banner on yours it's that easy.  A good standard sized banner is 468X60 a little smaller than the banners seen on this page.  Don't have a banner?  Let me know & I can make one for you.  http://featherheart.net/links.html On my links page you can see more, grab my banner html & see samples of banners in that size.

Just add this html to your page, it can be a links page or where ever you like.  Then contact me with your html or banner & I'll add it to my page!

These are actually all for sale but because they are not plush I didn't know where else to post them.  Hope it's OK to post here.

Well not that many people where posting in the ACEO area, I guess I could post them in the general if that would be OK.

Thanks  :hug: I was going to post them here but the ATC area was removed Glad you like them

OK thanks that's what I was thinking.  I only posted to that area once before

Ok sorry if I'm just dumb & missing this but I thought there was an area to post ACEO/ATC?  I can get to some post from the library but can't add new post, has that section been removed?  Or am I just lost (like normal) LOL
