Hi guys!!!
As promised here are the photographs of the teddy we have been discussing!
She was named by her new Mummy last night - she is called 'Willow'.......

she is gorgeous - so sweet!

this is an amazing tutorial Daphne!  I often wondered how it is done and now I know!!!
This will work amazing with my bears as I use vintage print fabric/cath kidston fabric for my paw pads so this will give an amazing look!

I would use the 'tea staining' method as well... a lot of people have recommended it to me as well.

thanks guys you have been a great help!!!  I will post a little picture of her very soon - so you can all see what I have been going on about!!!  xxx

Hello!!!  Just want to pick all of your brains... as I am a self taught bear artist, sometimes I doubt myself as to whether I am doing things the 'proper way'!

I have just read through the nose tips and there is nothing on there to answer my particular query?

Last night I was creating the little face on my latest bear and I decided I wanted to move the nose lower down on the face, but of course the gusset seam was too high....  but with some scissor sculpting, shading etc... I felt it would be ok.  So I moved my nose down, sewed on a cute button nose, mouth, scissor sculpted, added eyes and she has come out really well.

What I want to know is, have I broken a major rule that noses must be sewn over this gusset seam to hide where the seams meet?

Thanks for you help!

Thanks Janice! 
I am getting so excited about receiving Cherie in the post!!!  I collect the post in the morning for the company I work for so it will be like Christmas when I receive her!!!!!
Husband is still moaning............ but he will get over it! LOL

Well Ruth, I think you should give her some love and put her on a nice little shelf somewhere (out of the sun of course and a little bit protected)....... but you are very, very lucky to have kept her in the box and pristine....

I have actually found a My Child Doll now, another bear artist has contacted me and we are going to do a swap.  One of my bears for her ickle doll!  All thanks to this wonderful forum and you guys!  I am so excited cant wait to get her!
