Hello Everyone,

Here is Adian, he is 12" and I did little oil paint around nose and eyes with Shelli's method.
I used Hayley's nose template for his nose and used Donna's ultimate staffing tool.
I like to thank you all !  :pray:

I like both dressed bear and un-dressed bear!! 

Judi, Your " Snow Bear"  is so perfect :clap:
She is gorgeous with her dress and tiara but still she is beautiful without her cloth too. ..and I wanted to say, those little bunny are darling , so cute!   :dance:

Donna, Hello ! it's nice to hear from you! I love your
bear with those luxury custom outfit, they seems like can
talk and I'm sure they do.... 

Shelli, Oh..I never saw your Claire before !
She is lovely with her flower dress.  :clap:
Your other bear(undressed) always has some
special necklace or flower, Scarf and it is really cute....

Janet I love your bears in your avatar, they are
wearing cute winter jacket and I love your other bear who
with lovely knitting cardigan.  :dance:

Laura Lynn Her Halloween dress is so darling !! and
your bear has pretty adorable face(as usual....)  :clap:

Jenny I said this before but can I said it again?
The bear in your avatar is outstanding  He look
so cute and his Overall(wrong spell?) is perfect with him. 

Dilu, I think golly have right to wear cloth on !!!  :dance:

After all....you all makes fabulous bear and the bear
look good with or without dress . With wearing dress,
the bear can be protagonist of story and more like human.

Ok now,  same as Laura  I have to finish my
Teddy 4 Charity bear tonight !  :doh:

Bear Hugs/Marie

Oh no Matilda, how terrible to loose your
hard working photos !!!
Do you still have those bears at your home ?
I hope so......:pray:

Hugs/Marie

Wow, this is exactly what I need to know ! I just found out that
OOAK means One Of A Kind not One Of Artist Kind....
he he :redface: 

Sue-Ann, thank you for your word. I think I got an Idea about OOAK
now. :clap:   

Hugs/Marie

Oh Daphne, I'm so sorry too. :redface: I perfectly understand that
you didn't mean anything to put Manufactured bear down.....
I hope I didn't make you feel bad or sad...
This was really great Topic to
to talk about Artist Bear.

Manufacture bear is affordable(some are not so...)
and it's best way to start collecting Teddy Bears. Only thing...when you get to know about Artist bears really well it's hard to take eyes off from them.:love:
