Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

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! 

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....

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

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

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

Hi everyone,

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

Hi Danni,  I love Humphrey!  Great job. 

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 

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

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! 

So sweet   

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 :)

Congratulations, Noah is so precious!  You have a beautiful family     Best wishes for a quick recovery after your c-section.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.....

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!

Hope your Dad is ok and home real soon 

Very imaginative Lisa, I just love the expression 

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

Wow Samantha, they are just outstanding - well done 

OMG! I love this picture   

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