Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

icic.. thanks for clearing up the air! i don't want to inadvertently cause trouble by using the wrong terms

Hi.. i'm pretty confused about the definition of original patterns. I am pretty new to bear making and i make bears from  kits.

If i use the arms pattern from 1 kit and the head pattern from another kit and the body pattern is modified by myself, does that constitute as a new pattern or just a modified pattern?? 

hahaha... i'll gladly donate all my fats too! 

Thanks all. I don't think mine is silicone pellets though. i think i will just use them since it's already bought. Doesnt seem to have any other problem besides being powdery & soft.    Don't think it will harm my bear though. haha..

Hi.. I'm new to bear making & I have a rather silly question to ask.  :redface:

I just bought a bag of soft plastic pellets. When i opened it, the pellets are powdery & when i press it hard, it is easily moulded. (Am i making sense?)

What i want to know is, is it normal for the pellets to be this soft and powdery? The powder seems to be coming off from the pellets itself. From pictures in the internet, the plastic pellets don seem to be as powdery as mine.  It's my first time using these pellets.  Can anyone help? Thank you!

I love your idea of using colored file folders!  :clap: maybe u can try using colored foam pieces now? they are pretty durable too...

I juz keep mine in little transparent plastic bags now.  :redface: maybe i should start organizing them. haha!

oh my! he's so cute!! his fur is so special & totally suits him. 

if you are using Windows, you should have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can click on Picture>>Resize in the toolbar and you can then resize it to any size you need.

That's how i resize mine. 

Hi!

I just joined your mailing list. Your bears are so cute. I love the fat ones especially! 

he looks sad & sleepy at the same time!

Sad because he's sleepy but he can't sleep cos he has to do his homework before he can sleep. But the sad thing is, he doesn't know how to do his homework!

She's so sweet & lovely! She looks perfect in her pink little polka dot box. 

hihi everyone!

I have been lurking around TT for quite some time and i would like to say i love all your creations. They are all so pretty!

Anyway, there's this website which has a couple of free tutorials for Adobe stuff. Louise, I don't think it really answers your questions about layers but it might be pretty useful in future.
