Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi Laure,
                    Is that not wonderful, all done with panyhose you said. I just think Wow.  Hugs Rita xx

Laura, you do see a resemblance to your lovely bears, and that must be a great compliment.  Your Bears all have sweet faces.  Hugs Rita xx

Thanks Laura, I will give it a try. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Danni, Where do we find Robshelp ??  Luv Rita xxx

Hi Everyone,
                       I hand sew all my small bears ,but I do use the machine on arms legs and bodies of my bigger ones, I always hand sew the head. There is no way that I could hand sew a bear in one day, I must be one of the slowest bear-makers around. Saying that, I'm never in a great rush with a bear anyway, I do enjoy seeing it come to life ,no matter how long it takes me. But as long as were all happy with our own methods,I think any way is ok.

Shelli, Is the photo-shop programme you use very expensive ,and can it be used for other things too. Hugs Rita xx

Hi Judi, Thank-You for all your help ,I will search around now for an Airbrush + CO2 Tank.and will let you know how I get on. I think mind you there is a lot to learn before actually trying it out on a mohair bear,But you never know.I am a rascal for dabbling in all sorts of crafts.  Big Hugs Rita xx

Hi Judi, I have never used airbrushing ,what would be a good way to start, I would like to give it a try ,but would be afraid I might spoil the bear. Any hints would be most welcome.. Hugs Rita. xxxx

Missed you Eileen, But no wonder ,George looks good from what we can see, MORE PICTURES  PLEASE.
  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Shelli,
                Could I ask you nicely if you could please do me an Avatar too, You can see the mess I made trying to do one  I don't have photo shop, but I am still learning the computer.

Hi Dilu. What a lovely smile you have, just like your Gollys. That why your gollies always look so happy. Its a lovely piccie of yourself and your gollies.  Hugs Rita xx

Welcome Back Dilu,

   I,m sure all your postings were missed by lots of us, at least your up and running again. Well, now your Gollikins will get clothes after all.Bet they are pleased too.  Hugs Rita xx

I use lots of Bubble wrap and Tissue paper, and I make sure it cannot move. Hugs Rita xx

Hi Marion,
                     You are a wonderful bear-maker and a lovely person ,so please don't put yourself down like that.  I too lacked self-confidence, until I got a job,and to survive I had to build up my self esteem. Believe me it can be done. Your are a beautiful girl, so go out there into the big world and give it something to remember.You can do it. Hugs Rita xxxx

Hi Girls,
                Paula, what great pictures, Love all your bears.  Penny ,you look fine to me, scaredy-cat for not putting up your piccie. Sue -Ann ,you do look lovely just like your bears.  Hugs Rita xxxx

Welcome Home Shelli,   
                                        Happy Anniversary ,I'm glad you had a lovely time. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Penny,
                      I do the head first ,as sometimes it turns out to be a character ,in which case I would not put traditional limbs on it. If its a bear you've done before ,then thats ok to do limbs and body first. But I am always trying out new designs, so its usually Head first for me.  Hugs Rita xxx

Heaven forbid that I look like my bears. Joking of course,

Hi Girls, I love this little poem and I think at sometime or another we all have felt like quitting, Read On.

                              Don,t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must but don,t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he,d stuck it out,
Don,t give up though the pace be slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is a failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
Its when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Hugs Rita xxx

Great Attempt Sue Ann, I think Beezley looks supreme. He knows hes a first design and boy does it show in his face,hes so proud to be the first I think.  Look forward to your next one. Hugs Rita xxx
