Hello,
I have just completed another little bear with my signature smiling open mouth. His name is Dustan. He is available right from my website.
Thanks for looking! :rose:
I have just completed a new little bear named Calla. She is a small one for me at 9 inches tall. I just listed her on ebay.
Thanks for looking!
Miss Janice,
My Mother would have LOVED Sunday's Child propped on her bed. Such a sweet little bear...
Hello,
I have just finished working on a new bear named Berne. He is the first bear I have ever added claws to.
I've decided to put Berne on Ebay.
Thanks for looking!

Hello,
I have completed my first open mouth bear of 2010! Her name is "Alicia." She is a new design, I think I will be sticking with this design for a while
Thanks for looking!
Alicia has sold.
Thank you all for you kind words!
Thanks!
I purposely made the image not so clear to see. Trying to keep the curiosity up you know....
I have been trying to think of a way to get more traffic to my site, since I have been somewhat out of the "teddy biz" since the accident.
I'm working on a new design, so I thought it might be a good idea to add "teaser" pictures of my bears in progress as such. What do y'all think?
Thank you so much friends...
Hello,
I just completed a new bear available on Bearpile and my website.
Please have a look.
Yeppers, they are a mess
Thank goodness they are both girls or else they might want to "initiate" the tree.
Miss Sylvia, my arm is doing better, thank you. I still have problems with numbness and sensitivity, but over all, doing well. :hug:
This weekend we put up our Christmas tree. Well, we put the tree in place of where the dogs, Jewels and Liebe's pillow usually laid. So, I guess they thought I gave them a new red pillow with a shade tree! Gotta love em'.......
Thank you so much friends....
Hello,
It has been a while since I have listed a bear, I am very excited for you to meet "Gracie"!
Gracie is a ooak mohair bear. Made from the most beautiful cream with rose tip swirl mohair.
I have her now on Bearpile and being added wherever else I can put her!

There is a legal term called "Doctrine of First Sale", meaning that once a copyright work in tangible form is sold by the creator/copyright holder, people who subsequently resell that work are protected from prosecution... PROVIDED THE WORK IS NOT ALTERED.
Therefore, a person who alters a Bear then resells is might be subject to legal consequences.
I guess you learn something new everyday......
I agree. Once a artist bear is sold and in the collectors hand, we have no control over what is done with the bear.
Do they still call it an "artist" bear? If so, which artist are they talking about? The original, or the "reborn"? Should props be given to the original artist? Or would it "harm" the original artist reputation? By a collector thinking that the original artist's work sux....
So many questions......
Also, doing a little search on google, my opinion as Jenny's,
The thing I don't particularly like about this is that the little bear I saw was nothing like the sweet little soul looked in the first place. It just looked like an overworked bear with little appeal left. The ladies own bears are quite nice..and while there will be folks who reading this thread might think, ' hey that's a great idea' ..I just think that key to this is that, in the main, artist bears are one of a kind..and so to change a bear so completely is disrespectful to the original concept...no matter how smelly it's become.
I thought the original bears were cute. If they had a "smell", then fix it! Please don't go and change the bears total appearance to look like it was entirely made by the "reborn artist".
I have been working on my website this last couple of days. It seems to be alot easier to view.

I loved the "site builder" I used. Quite simple to use, it's called, Sitekreator.com
I would love to know what you think.
Thanks ya'll for the words of encouragement. :hug: :hug:
You can think of that pain as a reminder that you still have an arm. I cringe when I think of how close you came to losing your arm.
Absolutely, Miss Millie! I look at the pain as a good thing.
Things here have been coming along pretty good. I have begun cutting out a new mohair open mouth teddy bear. I'll continue to work on it as long my arm will allow. I still have numbness and needle stabbing pain around my elbow and forearm. Here we are at 9 weeks since the accident. I thought that it would be completely healed by now. Apparently there is some nerve damage. I guess I should be patient and give it some more time. And thankful that it was not worse than it was.....
Things have been really quiet here in my little corner of the teddy world. Hopefully I have not been out of the "public eye" to long.
I will try to keep things updated with my new teddy bear project.
A SHELL PHONE!!! :crackup:
Thanks y'all :hug: :hug: I truly appreciate it
Hi Sue Ann,
Well, the picture is kind of deciving. They are already cut into bars of around 3.5 oz, which is an average size for handmade soap. They are also scented with lavender esential oil and get wrapped in a vintage style cotton/linen cloth with a ribbon.
Thanks for asking! :hug:
