Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

  Ohhh wowwww!!! So unbelievably adorable! I would just melt if this little cutie landed on me outside. The yellow eyebrows are a really nice touch too~

Hee hee, what a cutie! He reminds me of my first needle-felted teddy.    I really love making bears this way. It's so satisfying to see their little faces and bodies form (just as long as you don't stab yourself!)

  This is the sweetest little owl I've ever seen!      I love the look of the beak and feet

Wow, Joanne, thanks for the amazing tips!

I've just started experimenting with undiluted gloss mod podge and I'm not happy with the outcome. Yup, it brings out the bumps, and little spiky bits are all poking through even after sanding. For my next bear, I'm definitely watering it down first (and needle felting until the nose is much stiffer!).

Below is my experimental bear using the undiluted gloss mod podge. It doesn't look too bad from far away, but up close you can definitely see the bumps and fuzz. She's still cute though, and not too bad for my very first bear (keep in mind, she's a tiny little thing)

Absolutely gorgeous~ He looks very cub-like and innocent. I'd love to see a whole line of cubs made with this pattern, they'd be snapped up in a heartbeat 

~ Wow! This is really amazing. I'm loving the pumpkin house  It looks perfect!

~ Oh my goodness! She looks soooo soft and touchable. Love the airy, romantic feel of her outfit. And those eyes are sure-fire attention-grabbers!

~ Oh my goodness, I think you've outdone yourself. This little puppy ticks all the right boxes -- realistic, proportionate, visually interesting, plus fall-over-and-die cute!!!

~ Oh, wow!! I love this bear!!! He's certainly a handsome boy 

~ Haha! This quirky little bear is amazingly awesome. Love the bug-eyed effect and choice of colours
