Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Awesome! I'm making sure that my kids don't see this thread, they'll want the same done to their bedrooms for sure.

Irresistible! Do you work from photos? You have caught the look and pose perfectly.

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful and encouraging comments. I have decided to put Nat up for sale, gulp, and so I'm just off to pop him in the 'Teddy bear and friends section. Fingers crossed!  :pray:   

Regards

Lisa

Ahh, how can anyone resist such a beauty? I sincerely wish that I was the customer waiting for this bear right now.

Lisa

Chloe, we think along the same lines.     You know I did think about using rhinestones for a while but thought it might be a bit too much bling for him.    He's a shy kind of fella, now for a female I could go all out.....

Thank you so much everyone, it's good to know that I'm not the only one who appreciates toads. 

Marlys knows her semiprecious stones well, the warts are indeed unakite cabochons. In real life the warts (and glands on the back of the neck) are often bright red, I thought that unakite resembled them quite well. I had thought of embroidering them on but couldn't resist a bit of a sparkle in the end.

Christina,

What a lovely pair of bears! They have such sweet smiling faces, nobody could fail to love them. 

I'm rubbish with names so I can't help you there, sorry.

Lisa

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce you all to Nat. He's a Natterjack toad. I'm not sure what kind of reception he'll get since he's, well, a toad.     I love these guys but maybe most here will not. We're just testing the water, heh heh

Lisa

Ooooh, Mr Mallard is a very smart duck indeed. I love your clever use of fabrics, especially for the wings. Wonderful work!

Now that sure is beautiful!! My youngest is always asking me to paint a mural in his bedroom but I'm too much of a wimp to have a go. I'm sure it'd be a disaster.

I can't wait to see how you get on with the Deathstar. That is too cool!

Regards

Lisa

Awesome!! Many congratulations! Rachel obviously has a very bright future ahead of her.  :clap:

How exciting Mellisa. Congratulations!! I hope to pick up my copy of the mag next week and I can't wait to see your article.

Lisa

Gosh, you have been busy. They are all sweeties, each and every one.

Lisa

Hi Mellisa,

Top marks to you for trying to organise a new fair.     With regards to possible dates, don't forget that the British Bear Fair is at the end of November (inc the BBAAs) which will be a bit of clash if you organise your one for Nov, although Hove is a long way for some artists to travel to...

Best of luck whatever you decide to do, I'll be watching your progress with great interest and excitement. 

Regards

Lisa

I don't know if this has been posted already but I've certainly not had the pleasure of seeing these pics before today. This baby panda is just adorable.

Hey Ruth,

It's not much of anything really.  :redface:  Just a couple of bears hoping for new homes.

I find etsy so inspiring, there are just so many astoundingly creative people out there making the most beautiful things, sigh!

Hugs

Lisa

I also have an etsy shop, I started it just a couple of weeks ago. I've not sold anything out of it yet and I've a feeling that I probably won't either.    Still I figured it was worth a shot as it's not expensive to list an item and, hey, it makes me feel almost like a bona fide bearmaker having stuff listed in a 'shop'.
