Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Your bears are cute, but it's the clarity of the photographs I'm impressed with. ( that's not to say I'm not impressed with your bears because I am) I'll shut up now and say goodnight.

Dear Judi I'm sorry to hear of all this strife at this particularly sensitive time for you.

All the best Judi, you deserve him to be a goodie, if only because your bears are just so 'magnificent'

Judi Paul, there is only one word ...& that is WOW!!!!!!!
I already needle felt the faces of my mohair bears, but my faces are more cartoonish. One thing though...I had never thought of needle felting the ears.....(found another word) SENSATIONAL!!!!

A wee tip that I have'nt heard anyone mention as yet. I also do the zip lock bag like many of you BUT.. I cut samples of the fabrics that I have used and place them in the bag , stapled to a description card with all the relevent details.  I find the samples let me know immediately what bear pattern I'm looking at. ( I have hundreds of fabric samples and can tell every bear that was made out of that fabric. ) Don't ask how I do it though.   Matilda

One important thing to be said, do not let the fact that it hurts like billy O when harpooned by the needle when felting. Just kiss your booboo and carry on. This horrid craze is quite addictive. I needle felt my muzzles and noses and toes on my mohair bears now. Also eyelids. It just never stops. All I do now is poke poke poke. Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!help help aahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARIE has said it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

JUDI'S WRITING A BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

OK couldnt let this past me by.

As a child it was an absolute must to use reverse psychology on me.
Nothing has really changed.I can remember one time my parents forbade me from doing something. I was very cross with them for that because, I didnt wish to do it anyway, BUT now I had no choice I just had to do it. BECAUSE it was forbiden. (it has been the bain of my life, not being able to do as I'm told)

When it comes to bears, I have to put my own spin on other peoples patterns because the bear already exists, so where's the point in creating another one.(I know I know, it doesnt make sense)
My mind does'nt seem to work anyother way.     :D:mad:matilda
