Hello Laura Lynn,

Thank you for sharing Kristine's method !
I've visiting your website but didn't notice this page
before   You have really clear picture with
polite explanation. Thank you so much for creating
this wonderful page. I will take my hubby to hardware
store and check this up ! I wanted to use Loc-Line for
Large bear but I love to try this method for
small or medium bears.
Thank you! :)
Bear Hugs and more Hugs /Marie

Judi, Thank you soooooooooo much for
teaching me about this !  I Never thought about
making a hole in Loc-Line
I printed out your post and filed in my *secret* book.
If you can see my  smile on my face now...
you might crack out....  I'm smiling too big with
all teeth showing out... hee hee
I will go get Loc-Line and must to try this on my
next bear ! 
Thank you  :)

Hi Hayley,
Thank you so much for your complement.
But please let me say *I LOVE YOUR BEAR*!!
I've visit your website and couldn't leave there for a while. Your bear is soooooooooo adorable! :)::D

Thank you.   Marie

Hi everyone!

I'm interesting of using Loc-Line.

Can I use the Loc-Line without the X or Y
connector ?  I want to use the Loc-Line with
Joint bear and want to use for arms and legs. 

I searched  everywhere in the net  for *How to use*
but I couldn't find out...  :rolleyes:

Thanks, everyone

Hi Danni and everyone !

Thank you for bring up good question I always wanted to know  too .
I agree that "use the darker color thread" for panda case, but how about the
foot case ? Do you use darker color ? or color of the foot ?
If I use the light color(than mohair) of felt or ultra suede for feet,
I always having troubled to figure up...:rolleyes:
Sorry for adding more question :P

Hugs/Marie

Hello Gail,
Here is image of 2books
of Japanese/Primitive style bear. 1st one has pattern for  1artist only.2nd one has pattern for few artists but I think only 2artist are making Primitive bear.  I saw these books at ebay too but these are not
so anime type as Bry from Bry's bruins. They are so many
anime books in Japan but I couldn't find  the book for teddy bear in anime style..       
http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P/45 … ZZZZZZ.jpg

http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P/42 … ZZZZZZ.jpg
I check out Amazon.jp and they
have English page but not working (I tried)...hmmmmm

I haven't made the anime type
bear yet but as Sue Ann said
I think they have a big head and
simple body with anime face....
big eyes(or too small),flat face.
Hope this will help you and
sorry for small information...

Sue Ann, I can't wait to see your
anime bear:D

Hello ladies!
I am still new to creating bear and
I thought I have no control to decide
the jenders because I'm new..but
as everyones said I guess it is the
bear self matter !? Hrmmmmm.....

I like to make a girl bear but the
all bear I collected was  boy bear..don't know why....:P

Laure, Me too! I miss your picture:)
but I love your new bear in avatar
too so I will give up.. hee hee;)

Hello and welcome Cindy! ... If I miss
to say welcome to anyone, sorry !

Can I jumping to this  wagon now?

Shelli, I love your dark color animal in
your avatar!  I saw her (boy?) in your
website before and I thought black is
cute with blue eyes and light color nose.
I can really see her(his) face clearly.
I think you have  magical hands to
create a beautiful bear/animal from
any kind of color or fabric. :lol:

Personally I love light to middle color but
I also love black or dark color too.:P
I purchased black mohair( Quality 800K)
from Intercal and the mohair is
sooooo smooth and shines . I'm thinking to make a  *phantom or the opera*.

I think Delartful's avatar is work of
art and Talent too ! you must have a
talent in creating bears and picture
both!
 

wao! that sound cute. I Loooove alpaca
too! I just love the feel of softness.
I purchased ALP4/ST(800ST) from
Intercal this month. when I saw the
picture of 'Gunnar' made by Sue-Ann
I had to buy the Alpaca. It has lighter
baking so I think I'm going to shave
the face.

Laura, thank you for great tip
  again ! I will try to use the white
  felt too.  :D

I like to check "Teddy Talk" everyday
because I can get new information
or idea and great story everytime

Hello everyone, I came back again to this topic and notice that
I missed  topics of Danni and Marion , Jane on friday..I thought I was last one to writing here on

Yes, I know the Lassie dog story..
I think I need to go to video shop
tonight and rent the movie(Lassie!)
I'm playing for your Lassie and my
boy-boy, I hope they are friend at
there.    

I had to look up dictionary for
Malcolm(gecko) hee hee
My friend has gecko too, I'm not sure
what kind of gecko but I love to watching them only if they are not
too close to me. Oops I'm a chicken!

Yes,Yes,Yes animal has an order.(may be not for Malcome!) My friend has a
allergy for animal hair. When she ask
me to make a Mohair bear  for her,
I put  the bear in to the clear plastic box because I thoughtmohair may makes her sniff too but she took away the box and gave him big hug.....so far she said she is not having allergy for Mohair bear.

Hi Dilu!

Thank you for  reacting to my new word. ;)
So, How about you ? Do you like all brown colors
or all kind of color ?
I'm curiouser type too.

Hello Sue Ann!

What a cute story! and how brave you were!
My first pet was big dog
I named him=Boy Boy= when I was 2. He was
mix of Doberman and shepherd dog .
I remember I always sleep with boy-boy  and his saliva will goes to all over me in a morning! Yack! :rolleyes:
When my family move , we gave boy-boy to my uncle ..but I never forget about him and still miss him very much!( he is in heaven now..)
I don't think I cry that much in my entire life .

After boy-boy.I had 13cats(at most) at home when I was teen agers and I also had  fish, Bird, turtle...... Now, I can't have any pet at my apartment and I also work at office in date time so I'm keeping  flowers and plant only at home.....
I visit Zoo in my neighborh often.
I specially love Tremarctos ornatus（Glass-eye bare) and polar bear!

Bear Hugs/Marie
