Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Great bear Becky dark colours are much harder to photograph but in the fur I always prefer them. So she is a big bear in in a dark fur ticks all my boxes!

Wow oh wow! I am quite new and am still finding out about wonderful people on here. I love your work  Your website is great- what a showcase of talent! I'm only just starting to needle felt and apart from having an index finger like a sieve can't imagine how long it must take you to do your pieces.

Colin String
If you ever need a bit of string to secure a parcel or tie round a roast than Colin is your bear. He has a great stash of different twines and cords that he has been collecting for quite a while now. It use to be rubber bands but he ended up with a ball as big as himself and he was struggling to stretch any more on. So when we all started recycling, Colin decided on saving string. It keeps him happy and I must it say comes in very handy.

Well here is a homage to our bears. If there is one place people will understand the love of our special bear it is here. I applogise if this thread has been previously covered as I am new but did look in the library before posting.
WARNING SOPPYNESS AND SENTIMENT A PLENTY!
Here is a picture of my old childhood bear- my 1st love if you like. He is called Ted the Red (I have no idea why thats just what I have always called him) Now this bear has been with me though thick and thin and is warn thin by love and tears. His outstanding ability to be there has seen me though deaths, divorces, separations (not all mine) many house moves, surgery, and all the bull*** that has to be coped with along the way. The honest unconditional comfort of my life. Thankyou x

Anybody else want to share?

Wonderful little mouse

super cute 

Well I finally finished my 1st Panda (I broke off half way through to do some out door painting in our UK heat wave!)


Mr Minty Quiggins as the name suggests is a big fan of anything mint flavoured. It all started when he nibbled on a bit of spearmint growing at the bottom of the garden and discovered he had a real taste for it- especially if combined with chocolate. In the summer it’s all mint choc chip ice cream and in the winter he doesn’t wait until after dinner to sit by the fire and polish off whole boxes of mint chocolates. I told him that I thought Pandas only ate bamboo?’ They don’t know what they are missing’ he told me ‘Kendal mint cake is a sure fire way to lady pandas heart’.

Hi Carrie you could always send out 'hard copies' through the post but of course this will cost you more. I would prefer that myself as I am not so savy with the pc and downloads don't always come out the size I want- you'd have to include a scale to make sure of this.
As for selling your patterns I think there would be a lot of people who would love to have a go at your cute bears. I don't think you would need to worry about a load of Carrie look a likes as it is your interprataion as an artist that makes your style unique. Why not give it a go with just a couple to see how it pans out and encourage the buyers to send you a photo of how they turned out to put on your website. Good luck  :thumbsup:
