Posts: 8,574I would love to know how you did those little toesies.....is it beyond the scope of our site here to do a basic lesson? Maybe not all your tricks but just the facts Ma'm.?
Inquiring minds and all that.......or if you would rather is there a particularly good book that delves into toes?
Dilu
Winneybears and FriendsDilu, this is page one and I can't find who you are talking to...did you sleep OK last night ? LOL
I had a strange dream last night ; I dreamed I worked for the FBI and Werner came in and said ; " I am Sorry but they don't have any water. We have dug holes down all over the place and there's no water ".
I have not a clue to what this dream means...LOL, Dilu is Winney going Wonkey Bonkers ?....Winney

Under Artist Tips, there's a sectiion on Sculpting Personality that covers toesies. I haven't tried it yet because I'm all out of thread-that-does-not-break, but it looks good.
Winney,
Your dream sounds familiar. Have you by any chance been reading Eliot's The Wasteland? Or have I been transmitting something beyond silly posts your way? :D

Winneybears and FriendsEileen ...I havn't a clue, LOL...I have not been reading that book.
Dilu, on the toes a great book to look at if Jennifer Laings" Making Teddy and His Friends" It has so many neat techniques in it, with each animal she teaches a new technique....Winney
Posts: 8,574Thanks Eileen for the web site....I'll check it out.
Winney, wonky bonkers Winney, this is in response to Sue Ann's wonderful new bear-He is double jointed and has the most beautiful toes....And she was wondering if the toes and joints made enough of a difference-most of us thought they did....find the post honey cuz those little fat toes are to die for! And they made me feel like learning the procedure.
Interesting dream.....stretch out on the couch and tell me about all the horrible things that mom did to you.....:lol::lol::lol:
Freud had some good ideas, but...not everything is mom's fault....poor mom ;);)

Winneybears and FriendsOK OH yes...I did respond to the bears toes...I like them, not everyone can do toes real well but she does and I really like that double neck joint...sure makes for more different poses....Winney
Past Time BearsWhoa . . . seems like I missed a response here. I certainly would be very pleased to show my way of doing toes and double joints, but I would be lost in trying to write the procedure . . . it really needs to be a show and tell session. I do recommend Jennifer Laing's book Constructing Teddy and His Friends for clearly illustrating how to do both techniques. If you have any questions after looking at that, I'll be more than happy to try to answer them.
