Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Welcome to the blogging world     Isn't it funny how, with deadlines looming, we find othe things to occupy us?     Good luck with the Hugglets production line

What a sweet extra question, I think I'd have been like Cheryl, with a list as long as my arm 

Congrats to everyone on the list, especially the TT'ers 

I do tissue paper, then a ziploc bag, or large plastic bag, then bubble wrap - my family is constantly collecting bubble wrap for me (too much so!) so I'm never short of packing material

She's fab, love that fur

Love the colours on this guy

Sooo cute, and love the idea of a pearmobile 

Is this your eco collection as you're going green?     Love them both, very sweet

Aww, a very solemn wee guy

Aww, what a gorgeous pair, love the bunny's hat and the hedgie's handbag

Aww, what a cute setup, love his bark and mushroom

The only carding I can think of is carding wool, so I'm probably not much help here!  Are you just trying to get the bears to stand?

Sorry to hear that Jenn  :hug:   I think it's quite quiet here at the moment because it's summer and people are on holiday or just not spending as much time indoors, it'll probably pick up again in the deep dark winter months!

Damn, you found my alternative profile pic... 

Aww, what a gorgeous pair, and love the heart paw pads

Voted with pleasure, and urged my multifarious followers to join in.  Think the big rough photographer and rowing guys might skip it, but hopefully the rest will help out 

Oh no!  Good luck with your hunt for the boxes

Cute idea

Perfect name 

Very cute, and love his cake

Wow, that was tough!

Um, actually, making and selling a bear from someone else's pattern is breaching their copyright unless you've been specifically granted permission to do so.  You will usually find on a pattern that it is specifically stated that it is not for commercial re-use, ie selling, so you're breakign the law if you're doing so.

Gorgeous red panda

Aww, just love that wee face

Okay, I left comments on a few, but I have a few thoughts:

Firstly, what Cheryl says is right ot an extent, generally people aren't too bothered baout buying photos of other people, however, for all the people shots, have you thought about submitting them to a stock site?  I have a friend who's a web designer, and his company is constantly on the lookout for people photos on stock sites doing all sorts of things (it's mainly the healthcare industry they deal with)

For all the buildings and vehicles etc around Erie, they might go down better in local cafes rather than in a gallery, where people on holiday may see them better and get them to remember a trip, or locals might want them as a keepsake of certain things that are memorable to them.  You may not be able to sell for as much as in a gallery, but you can probably avoid gallery fees this way - you decorate their cafe for free, they advertise your work for free.

The bears are cute, I think that's a different market again.

Good luck
