Great photos, thanks for posting!  Hope to make it up there one year to check it out.

Brenda - sounds like a good option, might give it a go and see how it works out!

Grace - thanks so much for showing me this thread - there's certainly a wealth of information in there and lots of inspiration!  bear_laugh

Hi everyone,

I've just finished a bear about 2.75 inches tall.  He really looks like he should be a fairy bear with wings!

Does anyone know where I can buy some little wings?  Or have ideas on how to make them myself....

Cat Gabriel

Thanks so much everyone for your comments!  Thomas had a great day  bear_original

Cheryl - no, my dog Woodley definitely wasn't that impressed with the new toy  bear_grin   He'll get used to it I guess.

Danni - no, you can't have him!  bear_tongue  Yes, I think i've done a good job on him - my best creation so far  bear_grin

Thought I would share these pictures of my beautiful son Thomas who has just turned 1  :bday:

Hi Danni,  I love Humphrey!  Great job.  bear_thumb

I'm working on a new design at the moment too and with the smokey long pile as well, it is nice to work with isn't it  bear_original

Veronica, your new avatar is fantastic.  I absolutely love your cloth dolls by the way, I visited your website the other day - amazing!  bear_thumb

I ordered some 4mm delux colour eyes from Beary Cheap that turned out to be coiled.  I couldn't work out how to do it so i actually straightened the wire out with pliers and then formed a loop myself!  bear_grin

Hi Sarah,

I'm so sorry your shopping expedition didn't go well  :hug: .  One of my favourite online shops to browse is "Over the Rainbow".  It doesn't have bear supplies specifically, but there's some interesting things on there, they have a great range of charms: http://www.polymerclay.com.au/

Here's some other ones for you I've just found courtesy of Google :)

Wow, the mink works so well doesn't it - I'm not surprised she was snapped up bear_original

Cat Gabriel

Wow, she's just beautiful - I love the colouring and the face is just perfect, well done bear_original

Cat Gabriel

Thanks so much Chrissi for the link too, they are very clear instructions - I've definitely got no excuse now bear_grin

Cat Gabriel

I would have to say my favourite flower would be tulips!  Being half dutch they are close to my heart  bear_flower

Cat Gabriel

Thanks for the great link Sarah-Jane!  I got some help from Veronica Philion as well (thanks Veronica).  Here's hoping my next bear will have beautiful sculpted paw pads bear_original

Hi Sarah-Jane,

Sending a separate email sounds like a good idea.

What I've started doing is actually including a little "flyer" in their package with the bear, inviting them to join the mailing list.  It's been very effective so far bear_thumb

Cat Gabriel

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone can explain to me and give me tips on how to create nice puffy toes?  I have tried it a few times, but it never turns out the way I like.....

Cat Gabriel

Hi Sarah-Jane,

I have a mailing list through Yahoo Groups which I advertise on my website and also at the end of my email signature.

I invite customers to join if they want to.

I have given away one bear per year for the past 3 years through my mailing list.  I literally write all the members names on a piece of paper and draw one out of a hat!

Cat Gabriel

Hope your Dad is ok and home real soon  bear_flower

Cat Gabriel

Very imaginative Lisa, I just love the expression  bear_thumb

Cat Gabriel

Congrats Sarah-Jane!  Your bear looks fantastic on the cover bear_original

Cat Gabriel

Wow Samantha, they are just outstanding - well done  bear_original

Cat Gabriel

Hi Marion, i love your blog  bear_thumb   I've just added your link to mine.   My blog's pretty boring, haven't discovered the art of writing interesting blogs yet!
