Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you Michelle, you are so kind I think my little daughter will never let me make a bear without a tail

Sue and Renee, thank you for the kind words!  I'm so happy you like my bears  Thanks a lot!

Thank you Becky!  It was my first try to make my own pattern from scratch I used to draw and modify my patterns on the paper before. This one has been started from making a bear from clay.

Thank you Pink, I'm so happy to read such kind words and compliments to my bears!  I still have a lot to learn about bearmaking. It's so exciting! Thank you Olga

Thank you Renee, I'm happy to be helpful 

The bunny is adorable and very well made as always! I love your daughter's creations! 

Thank you Becky  I hope Tracy will show us the completed bear very soon

I made a picture, sorry for my English In the picture you can see my vision of how to work with the pattern. I hope it helps.

Hello Tracy,

I believe the head in the photo is needle-sculpted between the eyes to make eyes sockets and the bridge of the nose. I would make the head following the steps below:
1. Sew the head, stuff and close it as described. Make sure the stuffing is hard enough, otherwise you will have wrinkles on the head when you do needle-sculpting on it.
2. Sew, stuff and attach the muzzle as described.
3. Needle-sculpt the head (with the muzzle already attached) between the eyes.
4. Attach ears, embroider the nose and mouth.

I hope that helps. Good luck with the head! It's an interesting pattern, I have never seen anything like that before.
Best wishes, Olga

He is perfect! I love the color, looks yummy

Thank you Michelle

One more fantastic work by your daughter! 

It's absolutely adorable! 

Fantastic bear! Amazing work as always!

Thank you Kornelia  Yes, I see my bears are all like brothers and sisters I'm not sure I'm ok with the style. Now I'm just learning, and after getting more experience I'll probably make bears in a different style 

He is a very beautiful tiny sailor! I like him very much
