Hi Teddy Talk,
I've been browsing for the last few weeks and am addicted to Teddy art. The work and creativity I see here is simply amazing. Someday I hope to take up Teddy art, but my life with a full time job and two young children just doesn't allow it.
I am, however, in the market to BUY 10 custom teddy bears to serve as my first edition ButtieBear. I'm looking for a master sewer (like many of you) to work with me on this project. I'd like to pay between 25-35 per bear and would resell on eBay. I'd even be open to splitting eBay profits if it is agreeable to the artist. Thank you for any consideration.

Bear Description:
The 1st edition ButtieBear should be a soft, comfortable, medium-to-understuffed bear. I’m thinking chenille or other soft fabric. He should be 14-16’’and be very basic looking. His distinguishing characteristic is a red (other colors?) plaid patch stitched with thick black thread on his bean bag butt. The patch should be positioned like a diamond per the example on ButtieBear.com. He should have a matching plaid patch over his heart.
Other Design Possibilities:
Possible matching plaid fabric on his hands and feet? I have a picture.
Removable patches attached with 4 buttons on his butt? Extra patch or two included?

Thank you again. Please send me a personal message if interested.
Bret.
