All three are glorious, but I also love Nanuk most of all.  Where will these glorious bears be made available?

Oh thanks Shari and Shelli for the nice comments.   

Shelli, these are some of the bears that I will be sending to Daphne for the 3 shows in the USA.  If they sell , great, if not then I guess I'll put them on ebay or my website in the fall.

You're welcome; glad some tips from here helped.  I'm excited to hear from a bearmaker in Russia.  Wow!  Thanks for saying hello.

Your little blue bear is darling; I really like the low-slung ears.  I might try that myself; never thought to place them that low, actually.  It's quite charming.

The eyes are lovely, and I take no credit for that.  The work is yours and it shines.  And that's a very nice color of blue.

Very cute bear!

Welcome to you! bear_original

Thanks Marie. Nice to hear from the closest bearmaker.:):) My city is much closer to Japan rather than to Moscow:D We don't have Japanese mohair over here. All bear's stuff my husband is buying for me in Tokyo (The Teddy Bear Shop). I would loooooove to try Intercatlg mohair! Such a variety of colors, types!!! But I'm not sure about delivery and payment method.:(

Danni, you bears are such a sweethearts! Thanks for your warm and friendly community

Sorry, I haven't practiced my English for 12 years or so...maybe it sounds funny..:)

Hi  Julia, Your bears are really great. Well done! As for your English it is just fine, I am English and I can't speak hardly any Russian so I think you are very clever to manage so well.

   Добро пожаловать в Teddy Talk, я доволен встретить Вас. (I hope you can understand, sorry for the mistakes)
