Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

these are so adorable! I want to hug them and hug and hug ... 

Teresa,
I thought so, hand sewn dresses looks rather bad. You have great skills with sewing machine! And fantastic ideas 

she is as cute as... strawberrys! she has nice stool, too:)
How did you make her dress, by hand or with sewing machine? I was always worried how to make such small dresses :redface:

he is so cute! I like his two-coloured nose:) so detailed... I envy your skills!

Thank you everyone, I'm not tired at all! All I need now is more time, yes... more time! 

And thanks for the tips, Roberta! I need to learn using it beacause I definetely don't like asymetry with bears!

I've made another couple of bears! Real stuff is really increadible, I love making bears with this

Here is my first panda bear, made with great mohair from Bumblebearies. He's 23cm / 9" , 5way jointed (this is for the first time, too). Thank you very much!

And here is a small bear made with fabric from Sonya Shaw.
Mary is 9cm / 3.5"

There is another bear sitting in my room made with your mohair but I haven't took his pictures so I'll show him later:) Thank you!

wow, I thought about buying these at a hardware store but I was scarred that they are just not right! haha, so now I can buy them with no worries. Thanks!

I'm happy that you like Polish weddings! They are just like you wrote Did your brother married Polish girl?

It's you, thank you thank thank you! ^^ Your package was a great surprise, it was relatively small but when I opened it all the fabrics poped out and was twice more than in the envelope 

and yes, it was a bit hard to make my mind which to choose, I started choosing randomly 

oh... and girls... yes, all we here are girls!

Thanks everyone, I'm happy that you like my sweeties! 

thank you! And I forgot to write that Goldie is made with fabric from you, Marlys! So sorry, I was bit excited writing it  :redface: I love this one

here are another bears I've made from received mohair. I would like to thank you again because you've give me a great joy. The real stuff is ineed fabulous!

Here is Blake. I've made it with mohair given by a girl from Germany. I've lost your mail because I've got system reinstall and I just couldn't write you confirmation that I've collected the fabric. So please show yourself, I would like to thank you 

Now here's Spook, a tiny bear made with Kathleen's fabric. I have so much fun making this one! (and a real hard time to make a photo of him! X))

And know my fresh creation (yesterdays) - Goldie. This mohair is so nice in touch! But hard to use, look at this bear's fringe ^^'

Thank you very much again!!  
more pictures at my flickr site

I don't know if I'm doing right making a topic for this and if it's in a right place... If I should go somewhere else please tell me ^^'

I finally had time to make a bear with my fresh new fabric:) Here is a tiny one made with fabric from Matilda (pleaaase, could you tell me what's this? I'm fresh in this stuff  :redface: ). His name is Bruce and he's only 4.5cm / 1.7". It was really hard job to make such tiny limbs! But I like how it came out, hope you like it

now I can see... the nose and eyes are no symetric, something's wrong with paws, dang. I'm just learning X)
oh, and what should I do to hide stiches and knots? (hopelessly seen on the back of the bear ;P )
larger photos are here:

next bear is in his way now, made with stuff from another part of the world ;)

beautifull!!
He's indeed so mythical, uncommon... And I love this shinny crystal as a joint, just perfect *faints*

that is really nice discussion, I've learned so much about jointing teddies I've never used joints (not good, I know :redface: ) but I have one set of cotter pins to make a larger (12") linen bear and it's good to know that' better option 
Thanks for the information everyone! ^^

wow, it looks like it takes a lot of work to do. I wish you could show us how it turned out:) That would be nice alternative to mohair bears 
I like Amerigo Teddy Bear ^_^

Congrats!!  :clap:  :dance: That's a great occasion to make an uber-teddy bear for a little newcomer 

oops, whe I saw the first photo I thought that they are real! XD
they are really amazing, teddy bears made of wood ; )

Yes, your page IS great! I love the background and animals on the bottom of the page... just so cute ^^ Congrats

Oh, I really like him, he is so cute! The crown is adorable indeed but I think I would like to see him with ears, that would be even more lovely ^^ I like anime style bears

yes, give the sprinckles in the cupcake! ^^
About clothes... I know I like getting off clothes just too check how the item looks without it ( ) but I think collector don't do that...

wow, I would like to know if it's working good, too. I think it's a very useful, I hate tape marks on the wall!

So you are saying that first plush-mail from Sassy is such an excitment? Yay, now I can't wait even more to get mine!! 

Jodi, your Valentino is so cute! And I love his little shiny gold heart, yum :] 

wow, those wings look great! But how about the other side of them, are they so shiny there too?

oh hello sweeties, you are so cuteeee! ^_^
I just love your new puppies, they are adorable I can't believe they will have so much fur like their parents

Indeed, it's a way cheaper! This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you VERY MUCH Maria :hug: I found so many nice people and usefull information today on this forum, I'm so happy to find this forum
