Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Thank you all so very much for your kind comments.   :dance:  :dance: I really am most grateful.

Sandra  :redface:   Sorry Kim - its just me I'm afraid.

Henry is very shy - but would like to say hello
He's my first creation - so I would appreciate any feedback you have the time to give.  Don't laugh too hard - it may hurt his feelings.

He is made from fully lined faux fur with suede paws and feet.
His eyes are hand painted and his nose handstitched in perle cotton.
His face is needle-sculpted and scissor sculpted (terrifying)
He is five-way nut and bolt jointed with poly-fibre filling.

I don't have a website as yet but feel free to email or PM

I apologize for the size and quality of the photos - I'm getting to grips with the technology - very slowly.
I may have put it in the wrong section as well  :doh:   Flippin eck

Can't beat the quill pen  :crackup:   Apologies to Quy.  He must really despair of me at times.

I'm afraid I've been news hopping trying to get latest info. My Grandfather was a collier and he himself was a mines rescue man. Mining used to be one of the main industries in Lancashire (UK) like cotton - until all the mines were closed.  I distinctly remember going to school and dreading the pit whistle going.  One long continuous blast was the signal for an accident.
Its like nothing else on earth - it haunts me to this day.

Sandra  :redface:

I try - indeed - some say I'm very trying.

Sandra  :redface:

Come on - where's this blinking time machine that you can do all this- make achingly beautiful bears, and all the other stuff ..............like showering, eating.................... :crackup:  :crackup:

Can this be a football free haven pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not the football match itself - its the seven hour 'whats going to happen' laughingly called the pre-match comment, followed by the two hour  'well I knew they wouldn't win' excruciatingly known as the post-match egg-on-the-face analysis, followed by the match 'highlights' or in truth a ninety minute replay, followed by the entire 'replay',   The match itself is just fine - particularly with the sound off.
I know pundits have to justify their presence - but has anyone thought -JUST WATCH THE FLIPPIN MATCH.
:doh:  :doh:  :doh:

Glad to be of some help

Tracy - in my experience - its dentists leaning on the lower jaw whilst working - that kills me too.  I use acupuncture, and have a physiotherapist 'move' my neck.  The pain is usually referred pain from the upper vertebrae in the neck, with the supporting neck muscles in spasm.  This may help you.

The man who frames for me frames football shirts with glass front and back - so that the player name and number are just as visible as the team/country badge on the front. A bespoke framer is often less expensive than framing in a craft shop - and they use acid free materials to prevent damage to the textile being framed.

Helena - If you contact a homeopathic company e.g. Wileda (UK) they can supply a pollen mix in tablet form.  (The usual culprit at this time of year is birch)  It can help ease symptoms - and next year if you take it just prior to the season you just need a maintenance dose weekly.  They will give you all the details.  No side effects - drowsiness etc - its brilliant - and I'm the biggest sceptic in the world.

Sandra  :redface:

Come on everyone - please check in - we need to know you are all O.K.

Sandra  :redface:

What do people not understand about the word NO.?
Its a complete sentence -   No.

It requires no explanation.

But its so hard to say. :doh:

Perhaps its a female thing - not wanting to let anyone down.

Sandra  :redface:

Way to goooooooooooo   :crackup:    :clap:  :clap:

Sandra  :redface:

Unless its a trade secret - where did you find the fur in the UK?

Are the ears wired?

Sandra  :redface:

This waiting is terrible - when does she arrive home?

Sandra  :redface:

Many congratulations  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:
Quality work deserves recognition.

Sandra  :redface:

I'm sorry - I obviously missed something!!!!.  Would someone set me straight please - I don't want to put my foot in it.

Sandra  :redface:

Where are these from? - I've never seen anything like them before - of course I do need to get out more  :doh:

Sandra  :redface:

You know my views from our personal emails.  I totally agree with the above observations.

Sandra  :redface:

Hi - I appreciate a chance to see the article - Many thanks.

Picking jaw up off the floor - I have to tell you I just stared and stared at the images for ages.  How proud you both must be in being able to create such beautiful things.

Sandra  :redface:

Jenny - I'm sorry I don't have your answer - but Its such a comfort to know that someone as proficient as yourself asks questions too

Reassured.

Sandra   :redface:

I suspect these bears will go 'out the door' just as soon as you have unpacked. 

Lucky people who have a chance to see them 'up close and personal;' not to mention those who even get to take them home.

Congratulations

Sandra  :redface:

She's for me Stephanie - classic and sophisticated if you know what I mean -
The colour is beautiful.

Congratulations.
