Sandra !!! Sandra !!! We all feel lacking I think when we see other artists things. I do also !! Some times I feel like those people on American Idol that think they can sing but they can't. But they are really sure they can !!! Ummmmmmmmmmm !! There are a lot of really wonderful artists better than me , and you know I have always thought .... GOOD !!! There are things I would like to buy. Actually it excites me and challenges me to keep going and keep pushing my self. If you are worried about sales, ..... well they are down right now .Only a chosen few are selling well. There is a need for all of our work . What appeals to one does not appeal to another. And tastes change . So don't stop. Just do like I do , it is therapy !! And I enjoy designing and seeing what I can come up with. So if no one ever buys again , I still am having a good time. Please , please don't stop. It is a part of you now. We all have teddy bear fur hearts

Great job Alison !!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Wow Great bear Jenny and good picture also. I find white bears to be hard to photograph . But I get pretty good shots out side. Or on a covered poarch where the direct sun doesn't shine.
This one was taken out side .
I usually do really early shots like 7 am or later in evening.
This one I did in side but on a soft blue back ground. I really like light blue , but I have had friends tell me thay don't like the blue sooooooo I guess you have to make your self happy.
I think the problem all started back in the mid 90's when artists started selling their patterns to manufacturers. They did a pretty good job and sold the artists look for cheeper. So guess what happened ? People went for the cheeper. Now a days, I think people just don't have the extra money any more. I know I can't buy every thing I like . Gee I can't even buy one thing any more. So don't feel bad when things don't sell. There are always those chosen few that sell everything they make , and good for them . But they have to realize after a while their collectors will realize that they have 10 bears that look a lot a like and they will switch to some one else. And so it goes !! All I know is , if they really love it , and they can scrape up the money , they will buy.
On e bay I am still toying around there. I am not sure what works. Just when I think I have it figured out , then I don't !! I don't travel any more because of my job , so e bay and Bear Pile are my out let now. Summer has been slow , but before that it was good . Who knows?? But I think e bay is cheep advertisting at the very least . I think ...........I like to start at a little over my wholesale price and see what happens. If it is a piece I would rather keep than let it go for cheeper , I put a reserve on it . If I come up with something better I will share .
How cool is that !!! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:
That was really something , funny too !! :dance:
OK !!! Now you did it ..........Yep you did it .......I am hungry !!!!!! And no ice cream in the house !!!!! :crackup:
I gotta get me some
Oh it will be like Christmas when you unpack all your fun things. And every thing will be sparkley clean . You will love it .

I have found in the past that no matter how hard you try they never look exactly alike. Like family maybe but not identical. Picking out a bear is like picking out a puppy, there is just something special about the one you fall in love with. I just tell people that what I did before was a one of a kind and that I could make some thing close but IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME . And I let them know that if they are not happy that they don't have to buy it. Some one else always does down the road. But I do know what you mean about felling like you let them down . Thats because you have an artist heart, creative, and we care what other people think of our work . So it is hard not to have a sad feeling. But as you saw, some one else fell in love with it . So all is good !!! Here are 2 of my bumbles . as you see they are family but not identical !! Just like puppies !! :dance:
