Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Ok ok : I'm convinced. I'll order a kit. You won :P.
In fact, I'm serious : I'm going to try :). Thanks for sharing:).

Ooooh... Now I want to make bi-color bears ! He's marvellous. Perfectly proportionated (hope it means something in English...:rolleyes:) for me too . Just great:).

You're not far from Bernex ! I wish we can meet when I'm in the Alpes .
I made my very first bear with a pattern found on internet in february of this year. I make bears with my own patterns (first were not very convincing :rolleyes:) since the end of March or something like that .
I do not know any other bearmaker, in fact : you are the first I talk to . I would like to meet some : I plan to go to the first exhibition I find in France:). And you ? Do you know some french bearmaker ?
Oh, I wanted to tell you that I find your dolls very impressive too !

Hugs to all,
Marion

Belated congratulations, Shelli !

Thanks a lot girls . I'm so glad to talk with you again !:)

Thanks a lot Sue Ann for this warm welcome !
Kbonsall : I made those bears from the end of April to now, in fact :).

Oh Shelli ! Of course you can come ! The chalet is very open ! You can come and relax, and even make bears on the balcony, I can say that's great :). I seriously give you an invitation :). I would be so happy to meet you !

Thanks kbonsall :).

And thanks Irene :). I love your bears too :). Could you tell where you live in Savoie ? The picture was taken in my parent's chalet, in Bernex, near Evian : maybe we could meet when I go there :). I live in Lille : you're welcome when you want :).

Hi there !
I'm back from more than 6 weeks in the mountain, where there was no internet connexion : I missed you a lot !

I have so much things to read after all this time !
Just a "holyday" photo of my little bear family to say you "hello" :

Lots of bear hugs and all my amitié ,
Marion

PS : thanks again for your mail, dear Dilu !

He is lovely !

Great link ! Thanks Shelli:). I've had problems to choose something that looks like me :

But, for the cloths, that's it:). At home, no shoes, pretty always a scarf, and just  big stockings :).
Mm... I'm not that slim either...

I just send you all hugs I can, Judi :). You're so wonderful !
Avec ma plus sincère amitié (=with my most sincere friendship, or something like that:),
Marion

Wow... I wish I made such dreams !
Thanks a lot, Jane, sure I enjoyed cutting the kimono pieces (I love kimonos, and I love your bears and I love...you all ... Mm... I've been away from this board sooooo long... Glad to be back ! ) !
Lots of hugs,
Marion

Really beautiful !

It's correctly spelled:) (mm... but cocA cola, just like in United States  ).
Hugs:).

I just asked a shop  for commercialy printed tags (this afternoon:) ), it seems to cost something like 97 dollars for 200 tags. If you want more (500, for example), it will be less expensive. But it's only one shop in France, maybe it can cost less.

:D
You're wonderful, girls ! Your French is soooo nice !

Mm... I do not understand... When I posted yesterday, there were not all your posts... And now there are :o... Mine was just  under Laure's one in which she talked about the clay...
???
It's magical.
Yeah ! I love that ! :D

Penny, you are GOOD LOOKING. Yes, you are. Do not say no, you are.

Judi, ok, you're right, we are not geeks :).

Dearestdilu, mm... A charming accent, that pleases me very much... I must think about that :).
You're très très jolie, dear Dilu, and you have the same petit air espiègle as your Golly:). (< I'll try to find a translation, I promise... I do not know how to say that in English, in fact)

Hugs,
Marion

If he turned alright ? He is marvellous !

Dilu !!!
You're back here !
That's just perfectly great. :)

Penny : I love when you say "Oooh la la" !

Sun Lo Moon ! He is one of my very favorite bears . The person who has him now is very lucky:).

Thanks a lot for the tip, Winney, I will try that as soon as possible .

Many thanks for the very kind words, Sue Ann:).

Laure, I hope you'll show us how the soft sculpture clay works ! It sounds very promising !:)

Lots of hugs,
Marion

Thanks a lot:). So, I think I will make a fabric bag that I will put in a clear cello bag and will finish by bubble wrap and tissue paper:). Perfect ! Many many thanks girls !
Amitiés,
Marion

I've never sold any bear for the moment and so never really thought about the shipping. When I bought a Steiff, the bear was just sitting in the gift box, which gift box was in another box... I wouldn't like to let my bears move like that while they are shipped... How do you process ? I thought about the system we can see with dolls : they are attached to the box with plastic laces like on the leg on this doll :

But it could even be worst for the bear... I don't know...
Maybe, just polystyren flakes ?

Thanks a lot in advance? I really need advices.

Thanks a lot, dear Rita:). I love your sentence "Go out there int he big world and give it something to remember". It's truly inspiring and it touches me very much. I think I will write this on a big paper in my bedroom and look at it every morning or something like that, thinking of you and other great bear-makers girls over here:).

You're all wonderful !

Lots of bear hugs,
Marion

PS : Photos, photos, photos, photos, and...mm... Photos !

I deserted that discussion because I didn't want to talk about "zits", but I'm courageous, so I'm there :D.
Zits are such a pain...:(
I was hopping it would disappear when I would be older... Unfortunately not...

You know what, from day to day I'm getting more happy to look like my bears .

More photos, more photos, more photos, come on:).

Lots of hugs to you, beautiful girls with your beautiful bears:),
Marion

PS : DearestbelovedDilyDilu, thanks again:). But in fact, I am really shy... I'm not self-confident and I have lots of problems to talk to people face to face... Talking is a pain (not the same as zits, though, but a pain for me however:) ) :/... You see, I would like to see all of you in real one day, but in the other hand, it would be even worst with you as my english accent is terribly bad...
Internet is a marvellous thing !:)
Maybe I'm just a geek :D...
