Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Congratulations Debora.
What a great acheivement and fantastic display. I have to say the spread makes your bears look absolutely amazing, I particularly like the photo of you with the brown fella and I think you'll have new orders flooding in. As a side note I absolutely love your bears and design in any event they're so classic and adorable.
As for Peter's translation fee, I'm imagining a bear a time should do you well Peter?

Oh I love this style of bear. Sue your work really is stunning. I can't make it on Saturday but wish I could have seen your collection.
Best of luck.

Wow. What an amazing hug. I was going to say I love the little one on the bottom right then I saw the gold on the left and the Big Gold head poking up from the back. I love them all.
Unfortunately can't make it this year but really wish I could after seeing this lot.
All the best for the show.

Wow, wow, wow, wow! He is absolutely breathtaking. That coat pattern, considering it entirely hand painted too, is amazing!! His face, his stance, his proportions. WOW!

They're all beautiful but I think Dewey is one of the most fantastic, gorgeous bears I have ever seen.
Absolutely stunning.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm going to agree with Peter and say I love Big Bears and this Big Fella is fab. I absolutely love him. What a creation.

Richard

Beautiful. The close up of them hugging is the most gorgeous photo I've seen.
I think I would die of happiness if I saw your 'hug' Peter.

I actually cannot believe it's the same bear. It's almost as if he was designed this way. Super super work and just goes to show what you can do with a basic teddy bear pattern and some real creative genius.

Wow! He is absolutely adorable. The face work is superb. One of my favourites.

Richard

I knew this was yours immediately and wow!
So cute, so realistic, the love the shape, the design, the set up, the face. I really do love your bears.

Big Joseph is gorgeous but have to say I love little Freddie. He's so different and such a wonderful piece of work. I have to say too, Dawn has such immaculate taste in mohair. I would be so jealous of your hug.

Oh bless you all for your comments you're so kind. And Peter I'm so thrilled Sam is settling in. These photographs really are wonderful. So nice that he went to such a lovely home hehe.

This guy reminds me of a TV show I used to watch, I just wish I could remember what. Love him though hehe.

Richard

Agree as above. Absolutely love the tipped mohair and the design.
He has such a gorgeous face.

Hi Everyone

So I am officially the worlds slowest bear maker (I know, and I'm sorry; I will pick up the pace I swear!) but I hope you think it's worth the wait.
I am so pleased to introduce you to my latest creation, Gregory.
He's a hunk of a bear at 23 inches and this mohair is delicious.
He's available from my website now and all his details (plus more photos) can be found there too.
Hope you like him.

Your second!? Blimey you're doing well. A lovely lovely nose, some great scissor work on the muzzle and I love the two different materials on the paw pads. So well chosen. The colours all work fab together.
Love this little bear.

Richard

A very clever new design. I love it.

Richard

Wow!! What a wonderful collection. You had a fantastic day. I especially love the final bear.
I came away pretty light but adopted a wonderful Refugee bear from Whittle-le-wood bears who i will photograph shortly.
Hope you enjoyed your time? Sorry I didn't manage to bump into you.

I look round so many times but looking back I still feel I missed so so much! Thank you so much for such wonderful photos again.

Richard

Another absolute stunner. You manage to put so much character into your bears. Honestly.... I would buy one of your bears now. You are far too modest over your skills and the bears you create are superb.

Richard

I can't tell you how excited I am that Hugglets is tomorrow.
All I would ask is if Peter could please leave some really nice big bears for the rest of us it would be appreciated     
Can't wait to see you all there.
