Gosh, that sounds interesting Pat!

Dyed fabrics are always so unique.  I used to use Dylon Cold Dye and used to get interesting results - I used to stand over the sink like a witch over a caldron, then whip the mohair when I liked the colour.  To get a nice pink, the mohair barely touched the water.

My first experience was a disaster - it came out a cerise colour.  Now there is NOTHING wrong with cerise but it wasn't what I had in mind!

Great fun though!

Nice hug Susan!  I usually am drawn to the pink bears and they are so cute.  I do not like gold color bears but the one in your hug just really draws me in...I am going to have to rethink that...hummm, maybe...

But seriously I can see the exact same bear but in 2 different colors one being pink and not even like the other color but yet think the pink one is adorable. bear_original

hi guys

lots of activity here...seems the funs beginning.... yes i love pink to(phone, laptop,clogs etc etc ) not just bears. the 2 bears you commented on i bought about 20 years ago and when i went to hugglets last september i was lucky enough to meet a friend of Naomi who was selling the last of Naomi's fur so i bought it... thats what Hector was made from and Noel. Also the gold bear was from hugglets to Mabledon Road Bears by  Susan Shillingford, i had a hard time choosing as there were a few i liked...lol

nearly swap time and so many have joined now which is great

:crackup:  Since I have been restricted with my movements, I have a bedroom on the main floor to rest in.  If you like pink, you should see it.  I was very depressed when I went to buy the paint and I bought grey.  I was determined to use it anyway and as it turned out I LOVE IT!  It is called twilight and changes color slightly with the time of day.  It is a perfect back drop for pink!!!  And, yes, my pink bear has a place of honor in there...
