BIG smiles from me too!!
I love your method for disk and thread jointing. It's much nicer than thread alone.
DoodlebearsThanks Jodi. this will be great for anyone starting out making bears or for those who have not yet got things quite right. Thanks for sharing your techniques with us!
Hugs Jane. 
Ruby Mountain BearsThat was fun to see. Great Job Jodi, good clear pictures. You should make that into a little booklet with pattern. Looks like a great seller to me!
I too would love to see some needle felting step by steps, especially felting on to a bears face.
Hugs, Kathy

Bears by JodiIt was great fun , I really enjoyed it !!! :dance: Hope someone learned a trick or two. :dance:

Maybe we should do one sometime where a pattern is handed out and we see how it comes out when we do our own thing to it.
What do you think ??? If I need to train the newbees along the way I can. Just a thought.
Chowlea BearsThe effort you've put into this and your generosity in sharing is typical of TT folk. :clap: :clap:

Bears by JodiAny time you guys, I am here to help out in what ever way I can.It was great fun doing the mimi with you watching. Hope it was easy enough to follow.I could have taken more pictures but it would have gone on for ever !! 
AND IT ALLOWED ME TO COME UP WITH THE NEW JOINTING SYSTEM !!! I was thinking in my head,... Now I don't have joints this small to use, sooooo what can I come up with ??? And The picture formed in my mind. I wasn't even sure it would work ... but it is great, I will use it again and again in my smaller bears. Thanks guys

Canna Bear PaintWow Jodi, five gold stars for a job well done! Hmmm, I don't have any gold star images to include in this message, so you'll have to settle for five of these little yellow smilies...

Matilda Huggington-beareThat was a huge project for you to undertake. It is something well worth while having in the achives here at TT.
Can you image how many people are going to learn from your tutorial. MMmmmm staggering to think about it.
:clap: :clap: clever girl.
I liked your improv with the thread jointing. I am interested why not just use the button on its own? why button and disk?. I think that is a new trick for quite alot us.

Jodi, I love your idea of a challenge and all using the one pattern and seeing how they turn out. It would be great fun - especially if it were a little'un, as we are not used to them.

I used the button and disc because I was afraid the button alone would pull through the hole I punched in the arm for the thread to go through and like wise on the inside. But I guess you could use bigger buttons but I only had small at my house at the time.Good thinking !!!
