dont know if it helps or not 

Total 100...missed 15 - caught 85
try again.......no thanks way too stressful 

i just draw the pattern usually only once on paper then trace it onto the fabric, this would explain why i cant design a particular idea very well...it just turns out how ever it wants to    the clay draping idea sounds way too complicated and drawn out for me as im not known for my patience - but...i may just have to give it a try one time

Daphne  :crackup: i have a few of them here... clothes are not my speciality,  you could call them "backside dolls"  :crackup:

Shantell     i have found myself developing a soft spot for cloth dolls recently, yours is just too cute

no sorry i dont have any experience with this, but i have for some time been thinking about attempting somthing similar

one idea could be to buy somthing that allready does what you want it to do ie. some item with motion sensors that spins and use the parts from it but i dont know how that idea would go with copyright laws?? the other way would require some sort of electronic knolage..for a full robot bear( i am a bit too ambitious at times  ) youd have to know how to program chips and setup motors and lots of other stuff im sure i dont even know about yet   

have you done any reasearch on the net about this? maybe there are basic kits of some kind avalible?

interestic topic   i'll be keeping an eye on this - lets hope someone else has better ideas for you tho, as i dont think ive been of any help :crackup:

love those eyes 

i think she's georgous 
Yes definitely make some more

hmm on here my user name is greatwon2 ...long story short , i was a teenager when i made my first hotmail account and greatestone, greatone and the greatest...etc (ah to have that sorta confidence nowdays  ) were taken, so i used a little play on words. If i had of known that teddy talk was to become my second home, i would of thought more about what name to use  

AlmostBears is my bear name  and that came about after my mother in law asked me to make her a koala..for my first ever design   after i got it made i said to my hubby "well its almost a koala" and as a joke made a tag for it saying "this almostkoala has been made for you by" ...etc.etc.
the name just stuck...but if i ever start selling i may have to change it as i dont want anyone thinking i run around almost bare

ive used sculpty air dry glaze before on plastic eyes...makes them real shiney, but im not sure how long it would last or if it might eat into the plastic over time so check first

im interested too   intrugued even

:redface: i was in a hurry last time just quickly checked into tt  - i couldnt leave without saying anything...i think its great and i am planning on nabbing me a copy of the magazine if i can find it....congratulations again....

hes so cute

congrats  :clap:  :dance:

why not jenn...i did!!  :crackup:  :crackup:

ok heres my very first teddy bear ever and the first time using a sewing machine too 
he is an unjointed bean type bear...ill see if i can find a pic of my first jointed one as well....it looked a tad better
oh...ps, his name is lop...as in - sided...he he he

she is great 

a tri pillow, pillow case..............i dont own a tri pillow(or whatever those boomarang shaped pillows are called )

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  Now thats my kind of inner peace  

ive had been trying to learn to knit , on and off over the past few years and could never figure it out...anyways, while at spotlight one day i saw a kids knitting kit and picked it up(well if 8 year olds are supposed to be able to do it  ) the instructions were really clear and easy to understand , with great pictures and now i can knit sortof..he he...i can still only knit squares but its an improvment over what i was doing.....so next time your at your local craft store just have a look see......might work
