Thank you very much Dilu But , there are not so many choice and still a bit expensive for me ): I'm going to search  in the web. Maybe i will find some tresors

Hi to all I would want to buy velveteen flowers , any advice please?

Hi; Do they also sold out mohairs at half price?

What do you think about this:
1)  all the participants buy a piece of mohair at the same price at Intercal in different colors( or just one color?)
2) someone can provide a pattern or there can be found a free one
3) choice of one size for all ( ex: 12 inch)
4) then the surprise will be found of course in the own work of the bearmaker and the choice of decorate a little bit the bear (a bow, necklace, hat) or not

Hi marie; i especially love the first one

Hello Jane I send you much sun from france

Hi Julia. I read it as shotka and it not hard to say. Are you going to let the design in black and white or will you add colors?

Hi to all; I have a question: Does someone now where i can buy cotterpins for woble joints? Is it difficult to use? Thank you in advance

Hi Marion, i went to an french bear event in june in Paris. There was more than 70 exhibitors and it was wonderfull. This event is organised by AGDM (gueule de miel), the only french club and forum that i know. There will be another event ( september or october?) in paris with more dolls than bears. I will exhibit to AGDM next year. If you want to browse their website, search "gueule de miel" in Google. I know a lady 30 km away from me and we were in Paris in June. I can't believe you are making bears just since february because they are so weldone. I also live beetwin mountains and vineyards and maizes. My house is near a big mountain wich looke like a tooth (molar):D

Hi to all Marion, i live in St Pierre d'Albigny, a small town 20 km near to Chambéry. How long time did you make bears? Do you know others french bearmakers near to you?

Hi Marion I'm Irene and i'm french too from Savoie. I love your bears

I'm so happy for you shelli. Can i see this beauty?

Oh very MAGNIFIQUE. I can't tell what i don't love because he's all lovable

Hi Plushkinbear. Welcome here. I love your pink bear and the eyes on the blue one. I'm french and i've ordered from Intercal by paying with money order. I'm very pleased with their stuffs. Tammy, they are all three caracters and love them all. Isn't it too hard with these fabrics. I'm going to Zurich event this morning and will be back on sunday. I'm soooohh glad Have all a good day

Love it too Marie

You are all so nice ladys. Thank you to look at my work. If i can help in dollmaking, i will do so. I have many patterns and materials for dollmaking, but i just don't have time now, because i had to sew many bears to update my website and i plan to exibit in some fairs in automn and in december. I've just did one in june and i was so happy to sold 4 bears. I was also pleased to see people laughing and smiling about them. Hey danni, just go ahead in dollmaking. Im going to surf on some bearmakers site now

Thank you Laura and shari. I've began by making cloth dolls 3 years ago and i really love that, but since i decided to built my little business, i'm more a bearmaker. Working for cleaning, house, built the garden,plus 3 childrens and my husband (another child) take many hours a day,so i don't have enougnt time to sew both dolls and bears. I'm a Patti's fan like many people and was just amazed that she asked me to design a doll for her book. Just go ahead in your doll making and send a picture If you want advices, don't hesitate to ask

Thank you Harley. Here is a photo of my doll in Patti's book
