Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I wish you all, exhibitors and visitors, a wonderful beary time! I´ll think of you the whole day and wish you a lot of fun!

My big dream for the next year is to visit Hugglets in february, I would be delighted to meet you all 

Ooooooohhh what a lovely little cat, she looks so cute, I absolutely felt in live when I saw her mischievous eyes!

But with my two little budgies it wouldn´t be a great idea to let her in my house 

Oh what a lovely story and great pictures!
I love the little bears, very well done 

Hi Sophie,

congratulations! I´m really happy with you to hear this great news! Good luck for the first lesson  :clap:

I like the bear-ladies, they look great with her sweet outfits 

WOW what a lovely dog  !!!!

Hi SueAnn,

I would never have thought to a lion if had not written it!
Taffy is a lovely bear, I like her face very much and most of all I like her hairstyle! A big hug for Tuffy from me

I must said your Mum decided right to give you all the wool! You did a wonderful job with it! I like your felted bears very much! You should go on with it, the results are very lovely 

Hi Ali,

thank you so much for your reply! I´m glad you like her!

Do you know these colours for Easter eggs? I’m not sure if there are available in UK, too?!
You can buy them in liquid or in pill form. Colours are: yellow, red, green, blue, violet, orange.
To dye I use a big bowl where I fill some cold water (the quantity depends on the size of the fabric). I usually dye little pieces of alpaca, like for Anastasia. So I need water between 2 or 3 litres.

In the water I put two or three pieces of the colours (I mean e.g. two or three pills, I like to mix the colours, e.g. the fabric for Anastasia is orange and yellow mixed) and three tablespoons of vinegar concentrate (will save the colours). Then stirring stirring stirring until everything is dissolved.

In the meantime I put the fabric into boiling water for two minutes, squeeze it out and lay it in the prepared water.
Then you have to wait and stir until the desired colour is reached.  When finished, squeeze the fabric out again and lie it down to let it dry. Shake the fabric out from time to time so that the floor will be soft and straight.

Please Ali, if there are any questions feel free to contact me. You know my English isn’t the best at all :-)!

I’m very excited to post my first topic in this category! I would like to present you “Anastasia Hase” (Hase is the German word for rabbit). So that nobody forgets her name she wears a little necklace with her name on it.
She is 16 cm long and made of self dyed alpaca (dyed with colours for easter eggs), her face and opened mouth are needle felted with brown wool.
Anastasia will be donated to a charity auction organized by my German teddy forum in which I am a member, too. Some bear artists donate their bears to benefit an organization for a village which cares for storks.

With her teeth she likes to gnaw her little felted carrot she carries always with her.

I am really curious about your opinion!

Hello Jenny,

I would be glad if I were the customer you made this bear for  ! I love his face, he is very beautful
