Well at least I won this battle...the war may still be raging we'll see how I do on the next set.  Your instructions worked like a charm....thank you so much.

If you haven't checked out her post in the Tips & Techniques section under "sewing on the ears" and are having ear issues, you should...they are GRRRRRRREAT!!!

Thanks again Winney!!!

Dilu darling, I could indeed take a photograph of the new improved Winneyfied ears...but you couldn't tell...isn't THAT the point.  It's all in the technique...:D  And I don't want to jinx myself...who knows the next set could be Darth Vader ears...AUGH.

100_9997.jpg100_9994.jpgOkay...so I couldn't pass up an opportunity to make Dilu's day...:D:D

Here's the teddy with the new and much improved ears...see you can't tell...HAHAHAHA....I think it's just cuz the pixies are so stinkin blurry...what's up with that anyway?  Hypothetical question I already know the answer...new camera.

So...I added some little pieces of felt behind his little glass peepers to create that "who me...I'm so innocent...where's the honey jar" look.  Did I accomplish that folks?  He's only 4-1/2" tall so how much trouble could he get into. ;)

P.S.  I can't seem to let go of anything I've made yet...how do you girls/gents do it.  I love them all...but that doesn't support my habit.

Shantell, what a sweet bear!! Love the eyes, and i'm glad you've gotten the ears down. \
When I 1st started sculpting, I asked the same question about letting them go to this dollmakers list I'm on. I got the same response I'm going to give you.
IT FEELS GOOD!!! I also get really attached to my creations, but you know, when you see or hear aboub thow happy your buyer is, you get hooked. Even for me, to think that I have artwork all over the globe keeps me selling.
Now, I'm addicted to the feeling, and I find that if I take lots of pictures, I don't mind letting them go anymore.
Just try and sell one, maybe one that isn't your favorite. See what happens. I'm sure you'll love it.
