Hi  Here is my first felted face bear ( thanks to all the helpers here). I wasn't happy how the face turned and decided to throw him out. 2 days later, i thought that i had nothing to loose by trying felting. I had fun to change his face and now, i love him   My first granson Hugo was happy to be photographied with  him Here are 2" Before" photos and 2" After" photos. What do you think?    

You are all so adorable :redface:  really!!! I wich the same things to all the bearsmakers   . Here are some samples photos of my schow table and 2 photos of the kind of dolls that i sold

Yeaaahhh!!! too cute :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Hi to all  I exhibited on a christmas market in a city located 20 kms far from my home and sold 5 bears and 2 dolls If you want to see wich ones (they are still on my website for a few days ), their names are:
Lilly
Bernard
Fantine
Filou
Tommy
I'm so happy also because i had so many compliments. There were laughts and smiles from every kind of people, young children or old. They were thrilled to know that both bears and dolls are hand made. Because i hate to lost my time by doing nothing, i brought bears to work with, and patterns, and pieces of mohair , so people sawed that i really sew them myself. I also explained the difference beetween artist bears and manufactures bears. One day, i've met an american who took  pictures of my work   it was very fun. i had good time to listen people comments. Oh, i also brought the Patti's book in wich i have a doll pictured and the original doll and use to say that a little bit of France is represented in the book    
In the beginning, i was so afraid to exhibit that i asked to my husband and one of my sons to always be with me, but finally, i choose to be alone in the big part of the time and sold all the stuffs unaid. Have all a nice day

Maybe when someone list an auction, he can write a warning message on the description part telling about possible hijacqers and ask to bidders to contact him before any paiement. The original seller would also send another pictures of the same bear to bidders before any paiement, so the bidder will be sure that the seller really have this bear or item?

but how do you know that your auction has been stolen? Maybe Ebay must allow each auction to be upload just one time and it can't be copie-paste, like when someone try to copie a picture and hi can't?

Thank you carolyn for have  taken a look

Penny, i live in the Alpes near to Chambéry city. You could come here next time????     It would be fun

Thank you Amanda and Kim
