Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Oh what a cute little bear-cub - you did really a great job - he is sooooooooo sweet

Dear Dawn I would like to participate, but I don't know where to put Austria, as we are in the middle of Europe?????? Can you help me??? And then I would like to ask if there are allowed also critters like dragons or just bears?????

Hope to hear from you soon - hugs from Austria - Salzburg - indeed the middle of Europe!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhhh I hope mine will be loved     , as I was so quick finishing it - maybe it's not that work, that would be expected  :dance: , I did a small bear-girl  about 6,5 inch tall and I hope my swap-partner will love it.       

I wonder if there are bears already traveling around in the world?????

I'm happy to tell you, that my Austrian-Dreli-bear started his journey today to my swap-partner Jane at Canada. I'm curious what both will say when they will meet - I hope they will fall in Love soon.

and I'm looking forward to see so many lovely pics of bears from all the swap-partners around the world.

Thank you dear Karon again for all your work!!!!

beary hugs from Austria     

I've a wonderful email-change with my swap-partner and I just started with her new darling-bear from Austria .......

Hello dear TT-friends, I would like to join "Who is Who in bear making" and would like to hear some advice from you, what do I have to do for it, I've read, that there is also an online-show, what do I have to do for this?????

Please can you tell me your experiences with this site????

Thank you so much for your help

....    no feedback?????

Oh I'm really happy, I found out how to install a newsletter-button to my website, the only thing is, at the moment it only talks german, but I will try to do an English Version too for all my englisch-speaking friends.

I would be very happy, if you would love to visit my website and maybe sign in - and don't be afraid, at the moment there is advertisment on the page, that opens next, but it won't take your email-address.

So please have a look there - thank you so much!!!!

......... and btw. I would love to hear some feedback ......

Thank you my dear for all your work!!!!!     

Karon you did a wonderful Job and don't worry, as we are all very clever bear-artists and bear-makers we immediatly found out, who our swap-partner is as there are so many ways to find bear-people in the www

I'm sure, that there are some more TT-friends, who are thinking the same???? isn't it so???

I'm looking forward to start my swap-bear, who will do his journey to Canada!!!!!!! Horray!!!!
   

Hello dear Karon, thank you for your work - I've just emailed my partner ...... hope to have some reply back very soon

So I'm curious who will be my partner!!!!  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :hug:

Hello my dear friends, I'm happy to present to you a funny couple of "oldstyle"-bears (or what I mean about oldstyle)
I had really so great fun creating them and I hope they will find a new home together, as they are really cute together.
I tried to do an "oldstyle" pic but will post also a pic with their real colours - I hope you like them
thanks for stopping at my bears 

I love bear-pile - it's really the best - I didn't sell bears on ebay for quite a time, charges are much too high .....

Hello dear TT-friends, I tried to do an oldstyle-bear, and out came Clemens. I would love to know, what you think about this "nearly"-oldstyle first Dreli-bear, Clemens is about 8 inch tall and he would love to come into a sweet home

Oh Paula she's really so lovely  - I hope she will soon find a darling-mom to hug her, well no - I have to say, I'm sure she will!!!!!

wonderful work - hugs to you from Austria

I have to agree to Clare, this works pretty same as the very expensive "Nose vanish" - I never used it, I started with the white watered timber-glue and found soon the glue you use to do the "napkin decoupage" - it is also a white glue that gets transparent when it is dry, this makes doing the nose so easy, because you can see, where you have to put on the glue. Just try it out - it works!!  

this is really a very bad story - good luck to you my dear!!!!

I would agree with Anna to share the name of this awful lady to be warned against this kind of adopting our beloved darlings

  will cross my fingers for you!!!!

Hello dear friends, I would love to present here my latest creation - my ballerina bear "Sugar-Plum-Fairy", she's about 13 inch tall and all is made by hand only, bear, cloth, crown and pointè-shoes

I hope you love her and she will soon find a new bear-mom to be able to dance at her new home!!!

adorable - babies make you smile and can change any situation into a good one!!!! Thank you Jane for sharing it - it's so cute!!!!

I once heard a wonderful thing from a bear-making-artist, sorry I don't remember who it was, but it made me think over. She said: if you are doing the nose, you have to choose a happy day and you have to take time. And yes - I can agree. If my day isn't good, I don't start making the nose, because all my anger and my worries go into the nose, therefore I create hand-embroidered noses just in my happy days, and most of my happy time is, when my hubby is sitting beside me and we are close watching and listening TV in the evening, with a fine glass of wine and chatting about this and that. Then the Dreli-bear noses are born - and well you also need a lot of patience and practice - this is right!!!! But bear by bear you will get better!!!!  

I'm so sorry I missed the show, as I've been at Wiesbaden at the big Teddy-bear-Welt 2011 and had no possibility to check out a computer with internet.
Please when is there the next possibility for this show and would there also be a possibility to participate????? I would love to as I heard so many wonderful things and congratulations to all bear-artists and first of all to Daphne!!!!!!
What a wonderful bear-world!!!!

What size do we have to create the bears????
So if I understood right - my partner would do a bear for me and I will do one for my partner - is this correct????
first time for me to do such a swap - therefore there are many questions for me
thanks for helping me!!!
