Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Shelly,

They are all scrumptious as usual. Francis is my favourite, he looks so smart in that jacket.

Oooh, what big ears you have! I never realised that hedgehogs could have such big ears, when I first saw the pictures I thought that it was an artist creation. Extremely well done.  :lol:

What a cutie pie! Thanks for sharing. 

Regards

Lisa

Daphne,

I've explained the legal issues to the customer and my wish to steer well clear of them. You are correct that there are licenced alternatives out there. I can only assume that an artist creation has more appeal to her than a manufactured product.

I guess I'll stick to being inspired by nature, there's far less to worry about there. 

Regards

Lisa

Thanks Thomas, SueAnn and Tami. 

I did check out the library posts during my searching. As far as I understand it I could make the character for myself with no worries but if I sold it then I'd be in trouble. I mean the chances of me getting the final product to resemble the actual character is slim at best     If she wants a fairly accurate copy then I'm in trouble in more ways than one. I'm going to have to clarify the details with her. All in all going for something like a distant cousin would be the best option all round I think.

Regards

Lisa

That's the tricky thing, if it's sufficiently different then it'll no longer be the character that the lady wants. I've been checking around and I'm fairly sure that even a one-off creation violates Warner Bros copyright. I think that I'm going to have to pass on this unless she's happy with a distant cousin instead.

Lisa

Hi everyone,

I need a little advice here. I have just been asked if I could make a character from one of the Harry Potter films. It would be a huge challenge for me one that may in fact be beyond my capabilities, but even before I consider if I can, I wonder if I should. Would there be a problem with copyright? It would obviously be my own pattern design but I would be basing it on an original creation of Ms Rowling.    I don't want to take this on if it would land me in hot water.

Help! 

Regards

Lisa

Gorgeous! Great fur choice, he looks a very cuddly bear. I love the paw pads too.

Lisa

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the lovely comments. I'm so glad that you like Scamp.

Lisa

Oh my, what a incredible bunch of bears, they are all so scrumptious!!     The show is wonderful and, it seems, a runaway success too. Many congratulations!  :clap:

Regards

Lisa

Thank you so much for the lovely comments, Scamp & I thank you. He's using his daisy as a sunshade at the moment, the weather is so lovely at the moment. No doubt it'll be umbrella time tomorrow tho.   

Joanne, yes I designed and made the flower myself. It's made from ultrasuede with a wired stem and sparkly seed beads for the disc florette.

Lisa

Hey there,

I'd like to introduce you to my latest creation, Scamp the little mouse. I hope that you can pop by and say hello to him on my website. We had a lot of fun with his photo shoot so there are lots of pictures to see.  :lol:

What gorgeous cuddly looking bears,  I see that the one with the pink bow has been snapped up already. Fabulous!

Hi everyone, this Lynx was a custom order that I completed back in February. His Mum-to-be said that she was thrilled with how he turned out but after 3 months of waiting I've not seen a penny for him. So I think that it's time that I tried to find him a new home. 

He's available from my website if you'd care to take a look.

Thank you!

Regards

Lisa

Eva,

Lady is lovely and her outfit is gorgeous too. No wonder she was snapped up so quickly! 

Regards

Lisa

What a cutie!! I love the chubby cheeks and smile.

Regards

Lisa

Only a few weeks and these bears will be off to their new homes for sure. They are all adorable with such sweet faces and sumptuous fur. 

Regards

Lisa

He looks mighty proud of that trophy and quite right too, he's gorgeous!! Congratulations on your very successful first show.  :clap:

Regards

Lisa

Thank you Susan!
