Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

You are all Winners in my eyes, so creative!
You should be very proud  :clap:

They are all just adorable.
Good luck everyone

Hi, where can I see all the bears?
Thanks ahead of time,

Thanks Laurie, that is my first bear, she is a bear kit using a 5/8" sparse mohair.
I like the way she turned out.

hahahaha I thought so too,
I think the lady that bought her is from Japan.
I have seen her get into some ebay bidding wars
before.

All the westies on Ebay seem to do well,
let me know when you list one, I would love to see it.
Your work is wonderful 

Yes Tiffani has all kinds of clothes! The cuties is her plaid jacket.
Westies look so cute in plaid.
I love the westies I have seen on ebay.
Esp. the one Mary Holstad listed back the first of Dec.
She totally captured the face of a westie. I guess I was
not the only one that thought so, boy the price went high.

I think I still have the link, I kept it because some of the pics
remind me of Tiffani.....

Hi, I get a ton of them.
I use to send them back as spoof too, but now I just delete them. 

Oh, that baby is adorable!
Thanks for the link

I have a Westie, her name is Tiffani, I have a ton of cute pics of her,
she is spoiled sooooooooooooo bad.
She has her own website thanks to mommy.

  Thats funny!

Hi, thats a great job, she is a cutie,
I just made my first kit bear last week, it is so much fun.
You get hooked 

I'm so sorry Judy, I know how close pets are!
I wish you and your family prayers and hugs.

Tell your children the story of the Rainbow Bridge
I have a link to it here......................

Again I'm so sorry

Oh thats too funny Lisa 

Hi, yes he is a sweety, I'm very lucky to have him  :dance:

These are made with wire glued to material and decorated with fabric paints and glitter........

Here are the small leaves that have been covered with clear contact paper.
Those are cool too..........

Hi, I have done all kinds of wings,
the kind you print out on clear paper, the copies of real wings, they are cute but only really look good on something small.

The clay over wire looks good but does take along time.

You can also buy really sheer wide wired ribbon and burn the edges just
lightly and I think it turns out really nice.

Here is a picture of the printed out type back when I use to make porcelain fairies.

Hi, just wanted to post a picture of my husbands Teddy bear. He is 40 yrs old, and has seen better days, ( I'm talking about the Teddy not my husband ) 

His aunt bought this when he was born and he has always had teddy with him.
He just loves this little bear. I painted the block that he is sitting on and put him
in a glass dome. He is proudly displayed in my husbands study. 

Ok great,
thanks,
will check it out.

I have signed up for a subcription to Teddy Bear and Friends,
that is all I have found at our book stores , are there any
other good teddy mags out there?

Thanks Shantell, your bears are adorable, I thought about the painting idea too
but didnt know how the paint would hold up on the glass eye? And if you would
have to seal the paint and if it would make the glass eye look funny.
I have a pretty steady hand from painting on little barbie face. hahahaha

Thanks all,
the support of everyone here sure helped
with my first bear kit   :hug:

Oh okay,
thanks Ellen  :hug:

Hi, I noticed on a lot of the bears there seems to be a curve of white
under the black glass eye?
Is it paint, material, felt or what?
I like this look but just don't know how to get it.
Thanks, 

Thanks all,
my next attempt is a 16" kit with alittle bit longer type fur.
Wish me luck!
I'm sure I will be on here with questions 

This bear making is fun, I bet it is really fun with
your own pattern.
That will be way down the road for me.

Thanks!
I learned alot from the board and the different books I had purchased
to help me along with the kit.
