Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

10 and 2 like the driving position...Lenora

Well, like I said...illness. I got worse and just got out of the hospital Sunday.  I am still going to try though.  lenora

I would be happy to pay postage if you could send them to Missouri...Lenora

Love your little bear...so very sweet! Lenora

Oh, I hope I can do one.  I have never done a panda....Lenora

Congratulations, I love your big ol' bear!

I don't suppose the dollar down and a dollar a week for the rest of my life would work?  No, I didn't think so but your bears are beautiful...good job!  Lenora

If I can get well enough to finish the girl I am working on I would love to be part of the Panda project....Lenora

I can't wait to see him when he is done!!!

Anyone finish their bear?  Mine was fine until I tried to turn it.  I guess he was too small for that antique curly fur.  It ripped when I tried to turn it.  Booooooooooooo

I would put a key or a heart on her. She is beautiful/
I have a small heart with a key with rhinstones in it I got from Wallmart for one of my bears...really cute.  The key to my heart!

These are very cute!

I do brush my bears but never vacuum because I no longer have the soft brush I used to.  Can you buy them extra.  I think they were for curtins.'
US Bears, I have over a hundred bears but a thousand??????

Oh I love the three bears!  The gold one in the front is my favorite...

It seems to me that most of the new artist bears I see are mineature.   I like big, floppy, huggable bears.  Am I unique?  Should I start going for the little guys?   

When I had that problem, I cut a piece of felt to cover the nose area and then used the pearl cotton thread over that.  Turned out great!

He looks like a baby bear I have seen at Hallmark in the baby section.  Perhaps the best idea is to have someone make a copy of him...

I like all of these tips and usually they work, however I had one bear that no matter how hard I tried I could not get his head off his shoulders.  I took him apart and studied him quite closely and found out that his head ended at his jawbone line.  I added a small neck and voila...he came out perfect!

I can't do multiple bears at once or I will never get them done.  I always want to do the easy stuff!  Have to do them one at a time and then it takes a long time with all my pain.

aniKA, I do love your Ellie.  She looks so kind and gentle.

I'm for restuffing!  If he has metal joints in him he might burn in those areas in the microwave!

Elena,I love your little Teddy!  You are a very talented lady.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Oh my, she is lovely.  Now, how about my offer of one dollar down and one dollar a week for the rest of my life????
I didn't think so.  She is beautiful!

The perfect bear to me is one that can be hugged and speaks to me.  "Please take me home with you."   I like "real" teddy bears, not bears that are to look at on a shelf!
