Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Awe thanks, his new Mum is very happy, and apparently so is "Barney" in his new Hug

What a gorgeous gift Bec, they look like they were great fun to do, well done, I'm sure their new mums are over the moon :clap:  :clap:

Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments on Fergus. He has a double jointed neck so he can be posed in lots of postions and now that it's been mentioned, he does have that wise , but peaceful look about him. 

Please meet my newest little "Squeek" mouse, he is available from my website or from Bear Pile, thanks for looking

This is "Fergus", a commissioned order for a collector who lives not far from me, he is one of my older designs that she fell in love with quite some time ago now, and finally I've been able to get my act together and make him for her.
Hope you like him too, and thanks for looking

Thank you Katy, he really was good fun to put together

Thanks "Little Bearries", he does fit in the palm of your hand and his little head wobbles around like a baby

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like him, and thank you for taking the time to comment on him :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  It amazes me that you can see my "look" in him, Linda and Bec, I was worried that there was not enough detail in him, but his new mum loves him anyway  

Wow Linda, what a sweetie he is, no wonder she is is in LOVE, absolutely gorgeous :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Please meet "Tedd", he something really different for me, made from a recycled Hugo Boss wool cashmere coat, with paw pads from the original lining and I also used the original buttons. He was a commissioned order and I used one of my patterns that is available on my website, I thought he was a bit plain to start with, but now he is growing on me, hope you like him, and thanks for looking

Thanks Linda and Cheryl, I have just heard today that he has arrived safe and sound at his new home

Thanks Bec

Bec, I still have one left here with me on Layby, the other one is already with his new Mum, and yes it is the white one

Please meet a little bear named "Barney" by his new Mum. He is off to his new home in the USA tomorrow.

Such a shame about your allergies, needle felting is so much fun.
I love making my "Hoots", and using all different colour combiations, so there will be more on the way...soon I hope.
Thanks again everyone, for your very valued input, I appreciate all your thoughts and inspiring comments

Just awesome Linda, he's great, such a gorgeous face

Thanks guys, for all the lovely comments, Reggie and I sure appreciate it :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Thanks so much guys :hug: I'm glad you like them
Yes their beaks are needle felted very firmly.

Please meet Reggie Rabbit, a scruffy bunny, who is now ready to leave home
He has just been listed on Bear Pile and my website, thanks for looking

Please meet my latest "Hoots", both have found new homes here in Australia.
Thanks for taking a look
