Tropical Teddy Bear Hugs!
Thank you all for the wonderful welcome for Princess Cali and myself!
Paula,
Thank you very much for your compliments regarding Princess Cali! The dimension and shading were a huge challenge, but I finally figured out how to do it without sinking the shading down into the main piece.
Ellen,
Thank you very much. I am so happy my little seahorse has been so well received. She was a joy to create – challenging, but a joy!
Bobbie,
Your “North Meets South” is another wonderful creation! You should be very proud! Congratulations!
I had to laugh when I read your comments! I think I’ve read that gentle (or not so gentle) push somewhere else! Thank you again for your compliments regarding my needle felting. Please be patient. I am having a difficult time concentrating on needle felting right now. I love needle felting, but real life issues keep getting in the way. Cancer treatments and three recent K-9 surgeries have me feeling more like a K-9 taxi and vet nurse than an artist! I have a whole list of designs that keep popping into my head and are crying to be created. I finally took a few minutes to write the ideas down so I would quit waking up at 2:00 in the morning with little creatures dancing in my head crying, “Felt me first! No me!” A few weeks ago I was trying to find felting time, and I was contacted by a bear collector who wants several of my crochet bears. This was my first special order request directly from my website. I have to take the time to fulfill these requests. The felting will happen. Please be patient.
Edie,
Thank you for your wonderful comments regarding Princess Cali. I'm way to new to be an expert, but thank you for the kind words. I am definitely still learning. Needle felting is so much fun!

Hi everyone! I am Marge Wiese of Princess4Paws Designs and Creations, Florida, USA. I have been a member of Teddy Talk for a while, but have been too shy to post here until now.
I am so honored and excited to have my little seahorse, Princess Cali selected as a TOBY Industry Choice winner! I just started needle felting a year ago. Princess Cali is my second wool sculpture. I put a lot of time and love into creating her. She is solid needle felted with all shading done with wisps of wool - no paint.
Marion, THANK YOU so much for posting this, and thank you also for your continued support of my creations, and for believing in me! You encouraged me to enter the TOBY contest, and I finally decided to take a chance and do so. I am so, so, excited right now!
I want to extend a great big congratulations to ALL of the artist who have had their creations selected for the 2008 TOBY Industry Choice Awards! I am humbled to be among such great artists! I wish you all the best of luck!!!
Tropical Teddy Bear Hugs to All!!!
