Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you for letting me know!  I am not sure what it could be.  I am able to see the photos.  I have added them here... I will try and figure eBay out.

I love the colors on these two!

How adorable!  I can "bearly" stand it!

Here is my latest creation.  I love seeing these little bear bundles come to life! 

I have made this bear with a beautiful plush, curly German mohair that is a custard yellow with dark backing.
- He stands at just about 11 inches tall.
- has dark brown wool felt paw pads.
- matte black glass eyes.
- stuffed with excelsior, pellets (for a nice weighted feel), and poly-fil.
- head and neck have a cotter joint, all four legs are string jointed.
- a vintage black satin bow and antique rhinestone button adorn his neck.
Here is his auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi … 0634824881
Thanks for viewing!

Oh! I do love your bears!

Thank you, Joanne. ♥

Here is another of my latest creations.  It's a paper mache clay bear! 

= It is 5 inches and about 2.5 inches wide (from top of legs across belly).  Bear can stand on its own, but needs to be propped up against something to sit.

= Sculpted using paper mache clay.  It has a nice "weighted" feel to it.

= String jointed and hand assembled.

= Hand painted.  Body is painted with gold luster paint and features are painted with blacks and browns.  All high quality/artist were used.

= Pink felt heart has been glued to the body.

= The bottom of the bear is signed and dated by the artist (me).

This item is available for purchase from my blog: http://studiotinsel.blogspot.com/2010/1 … ition.html

Hi everyone!

I am new to these boards and am excited to have joined!  A few days ago I finished my first bear.  Her name is Eddy (pronounced ee-dee).  Here are a few photos.

Eddy is made with dark brown sparse mohair and stands 13.5" tall.  She is string jointed allowing her arms and legs to move up and down.  Though her head is cotter-jointed, it does not move as it has been stitched in place for stability.

She is stuffed with polyfil and pellets to give her a nice "weighted" feel.  Her eyes are vintage shoe button eyes that have been colored white at the tops to give her more character.  Her muzzle, ears, and eyes have all been shaded.

Eddy is wearing a vintage coat and a matching bow at her right ear.

Parts of this bear have been machine and hand stitched.  Because of the eyes and bow, this bear is not considered child safe.

She is available for adoption/purchase through my blog: http://studiotinsel.blogspot.com/2010/1 … -eddy.html

Enjoy!
