Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

He is really gorgeous.  I love his colour and bear cub looks!

Such a sweet little poppet!  She looks like a little, lost waif.

Really cute.  I love his expression!

Fabulous bear! Personality plus, just adorable.

Great bear with wonderful eyes!

Thanks again, all.  Too right, Karen!  I felt exhausted after stuffing him.  I think I would need to 'go into training' if I made bears that size regularly.

Thank you all for your kind remarks.  Gregory is a great teacher.  His pattern is amazing.  It really threw me as it is very different to any pattern I have ever used before.  I certainly couldn't have produced the bear without his excellent guidance.  He brought two of his finished bears to show us, one classical and one of his more modern style.  They were completely stunning...perfection in bear shape! 

The course was a treat to myself and money well spent!  I will now have to come back down to earth, and think about my next project.

Hi all

I have just finished a weekend bear making course taught by Gregory Gyllenship.  Had a great time, learned loads and am feeling worn out today!  Gregory was brill...really generous with loads of great tips, full of really useful insights into 'what makes a great bear' and just inspirational.  I have attached a photo of my finished bear.  Of course I have called him Gregory!  He is one big armful of bear!

I have heard back from Sculpey.  They only supply in mixed packs.  It makes it quite expensive if you don't want the other colours!

I love your bears!

I love his chubby body and legs...and his sweet face!

I have emailed Sculpey to see if they can supply blocks of black bake & bend as I can only find packs of  1 oz mixed colours in the UK.

Many Thanks Joanne, Robin and Manuela for your suggestions.  Lots to ponder!  The fun is in trying out different methods and materials.
