Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I 'm in.  Put my deposit down. thanks for your support!

I really do believe that if something truly calls to you...you have to respond...there's almost always something in it larger than money. AND! I found 2 shiny new quarters ON THE GROUND!!!  there's a sign.
I called my gallery and offered to do some commisions...which I normally avoid.
Art money for Art money is the best!

wow...I didn't expect so many responses so quickly. how nice!!!

it will be a REAL stretch to pay for the bear...but I can do it over 3 months....
I also believe it's not a zero sum game.....who knows what gifts the bear will bring!!

thank you.

Hello

I am new to the forum. I am an artist who has been dabbling in bears and find myself more and more drawn in... i wonder why..?!?!?

I have a burning question!.  How many of you buy from other artists?
I ask because I am seriously considering mortgaging my soul to buy this bear from an artist I really like....
and part of me is saying I should just make a bear I like as much (a challenge) and part of me is just longing for a bear from this maker. 
I think she is probably the reason I even considered making bears in the first place...

It's funny...I haven't told a single soul about this...how do I justify the cost?!?!...and then I found exactly the people I wanted to hear from!

thanks for being here; i look forward to listening!
