Thanks Sabine & Kim.. i do have double bonded nylon which i use for eyes and is strong  which i could try,       i feel better already i was panicking about what to use..        

ohh thanks for your quick reply sueAnn, i really appreciate it i'm working on this little cutie and i'm dying to finish it tonight lol

nope no sinew i only have machine sewing thread .. gutterman polyester thread..invisible thread..quilting thread.. extra strong double bonded nylon (which i use for insrerting the eyes so do you think that would do ?? the bear isn't going anywhere it's staying with me so i wonder if that would work ??

goodness i have every thread going except button thread lol

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone can tell me what exactly is "Button Thread" ? i need to do some string jointing and the instructions say use button thread.. i don't think i have any of this so is there any other type of thread i can use instead ??

Nylon. Gutterman

pleasee help someone.

your stand looks fabulous Paula. it would be amazing to see it for real !!!

Sueann thanks for scaning in the pics it was Great to see them

i will post a pic when he's finished Marie, the White UV i need is coming form America so it might take a couple of weeks before i get a piccie posted but i wont forget i promise

Jenny i can't belive none of your bears won anything they are AMAZING..  Wow. the competition must be tough in those awards !!!!!!!!

PSP is a great programme if you know the tools to use. I've used it for years and find it GREAT, resizing your photograph from the original shouldn't lose any of the quality unless you are making it about 100x100 pixels big for example. the smaller the image the more you lose the crispness of the photo !

open the original photograph. don't make any changes to it except you might want to crop out any excess background you don't want first.. goto  IMAGE / RESIZE

and then select  either
pixel size - and type in the amount of pixels wide you want it.. 300 or 400 or 500 perhaps depending on how big you want the pic

or select
Percentage of original and type in say 50 or however big you want it

press ok.. then select

EDIt..COPY..
EDIT..PASTE AS NEW IMAGE

it shouldn't alter the quality of the pic really.. and if you want the pic softer you can use the soften tool aswell.. 

Thanks soo much Carolyn,  :hug:   i will certainly post piccies when he's finished

i will certainly post some when it's finished. I'm just waiting for the Wihte UV to be posted/delivered then i can get cracking on it, I'm also waiting for some white feathers to be delivered too so I'm all set to go when the stuff arrives

Faaabulous !!!!

she is stunning fran !! 

Ohh Dilu sorry to hear about your tootsies. i hope they heal real quickly for you !!!  :hug:

i certainly will Judi    , i've got some white floaty feathers which i am going to incorporate into his wings to make them look more real.. (hopefully).. i was also thinking about tying a red ribbon around his neck with a heart attatched so it's hanging from around his neck and maybe embroider my brothers name onto the heart.. but we will see..i'm gettin a bit ambitious with my ideas. hehehe !
