Hello everyone!
I have an idea that I want your opinion on. I like the Anime bears and I design and made a couple for myself and then I thought that I will like to see a Golly in the same style I made her ( them....I made two! ) and I do like her so much !! I think that the style is perfect for a Golly. I don't know how many of you like or collects Gollies and I will like to know what do you think abut having an Anime style challenge.
Would you please give me your opinion about it?
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend 
Bear hugs.
Gladys
Gladys,
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD AND INTERESTING IDEA

Charlotte Des Roches DesignsGreat idea!!! I wanna see pictures:)
Posts: 8,574What a great idea...! Count me in! I think you are right, the style is perferfect of a gollywolly, either boy or girl...
do you have a size range for your challenge and also a deadline? Please don't say next week....honey I will never be done in time!
Hey you guys- all a golly takes is some black fabric and someything for hair-even yarn!
And we all have some sort of jointing materials at our fingertips and well gollies stuff the same as bears....and
Just a word of advice there....
Charlotte Des Roches DesignsYES...or some black wool...for needle felted ones...love the tip about the mouth!!! :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

I love that idea. I needlefelted a little boy one.....
Dilu, that Golly is awesome!
I would participate in something as challenging as this. Being a non-animal, it would be a real stretch for me! Let's do it!
Posts: 8,574So Gladys whens the deadline???
wooohoooo!!!
Give me some time! No too-quick turnarounds, please. I have to reinvent the wheel on this one and am trying to REDUCE stress, after all.
Charlotte Des Roches DesignsDilu...remember your birthday Golly???I have done 1 girl & 1 boy needle felted golly...the girl now belongs to my basket weaving partner Ulli & the boy went to another great friend Amy...so they are both still very close by...
Posts: 280I am game for this challenge. I think it would be a great way to try something new, especially since I have not completely convinced myself about the anime style. Maybe this will help.

Posts: 1,836I'd like to join in too! Since it's Anime and not "traditional" I guess we can stretch our imaginations a little with materials and what not right? Hmmmmm... to the bearcave (that's what we call it at my house...kinda like the bat cave, but no cool bat poles to slide down)

HA! Cute!
WOW! I am so happy to see that you guys want to participate!! About the dead line?? Well give me ideas. I don't want to put stress on nobody, like Shelli said. Bears and craft should relax you and take your mind out of "trouble" 
Dilu I love your Gollies! Thank you for being so nice to me ( always having questions and in need of help, that is ME!) Luann you will like the Anime style on Gollies for sure. On my opinion, it is made for them!! Charlotte I will try to show a picture in here of one of the two I made ( they are in the Anime Style Challenge gallery, just in case it does not work in here, ( something that happens to me almost all the time! ) Lanie I will keep you guys posted and I do want you opinion about, what do you wan to see, sizes, true to Anime style or "close". I can see that some of you maybe will like to see felted ones too? I think it could be more fun if we make it, more or less, "any thing goes" but, with some limits...or not? I want it to be fun and stress free for everybody that participate... Open for ideas!!
Thank you soooooooo very much to all of you. I am new at this kind of things and I was a little bit "nervous" about it..Now I feel so much at easy. Thanks ladies
BIG bear hugs for all of you 
Gladys
Gladys,
Well well whata cutie pie... Shes so gorgeous
Your right Gladys, the anime style works very well on gollys.
I think maybe run it over the next THREE month period? Anime stlye would be great. Felted or fabric. that will stretch our beary big imaginations...
Dont know how to start a challange though, or open a gallery?
Sounds sooOOO much fun Gladys..
KEEP US POSTED. GET IT GOING SOON...
LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU AND YOUR GOLLIES.

This will be great you guys! 
Kind of makes me re-excited...... 
Gladys we will work better if there is a time frame..........
Charlotte Des Roches DesignsThis was my first Golly
Here is the girl...but I didn't get a picture of the boy...akkk...lol I know where he lives & will visit him & get a pic!!!
So yes!!! I wanna make a NFed Anime Style Golly!!!!!
OK, I borrowed the boy & the girl gollies back & took their picture this morning for you all to see:)
Posts: 8,574I guess we can stretch our imaginations
We all have an idea on how TeddyArtists do teds....but gollies are not really like teds.....so I would think the field is wiiiiide open....
I am doing my pattern today.....
Posts: 8,574We need to get busy.....
Chop! Chop!!
But not the heads, my little sillikins- just get working !
Posts: 8,574[size=18]How about a wee bit of inspiration![/size]
WOW!!! ( twice WOW!! ) 
I love how you guys are exited about it !! ME TOO! Dilu I know, I have an Anime Golly on the Gallery ( an another in here ) but, I am going to have different one for ours. You don't know me yet but, I "tend" to get carried away when I like something!! When I made the first one , the one in the gallery, I thought well, she is Anime style....She can be there and then I started thinking that we should have a gallery just for them!!
Charlotte you Golly is a cutty pie!!
Lanie you said 3 month will be good for a dead line. What the rest of you think? One, two, three? I want,like I said, that everybody relax and have fun, even the ones that have never made a Golly of any kind!!
Dilu I like the "inspiration" Anime style smilies you show us I am a little bit scare of the "chop, chop" part??
Ok I have to go. Thank you guys for wanting to participate!
Have a great Sunday ( or Monday for you guys in Australia )
Big bear hugs for each of you
Gladys

Lolicon, in the western world, means manga-style sexual artwork involving childlike characters. The term is borrowed from Japan, where it is slang, short for Lolita Complex, that refers to an attraction to any girl beneath the age of consent, or to an individual attracted to such a person. Lolicon images are of girls; see shotacon for the male equivalent.

Legal status in the United States
The Supreme Court of the United States decided in 2002, and affirmed in 2004, that previous prohibition of simulated child pornography under the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 was unconstitutional.[8] The majority ruling stated that "the CPPA prohibits speech that records no crime and creates no victims by its production. Virtual child pornography is not 'intrinsically related' to the sexual abuse of children."On 30 April 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also dubbed the Amber Alert Law) which again criminalizes simulated child pornography. [9]In December 2005, Dwight Whorley was convicted under this law [10] for receiving both "…obscene Japanese anime cartoons that graphically depicted prepubescent female children being forced to engage in genital-genital and oral-genital intercourse with adult males." and "…digital photographs of actual children engaging in sexually explicit conduct." [11][12] Neither Whorley's, nor any other conviction under this law has been reviewed by the Supreme Court.
I had googled 'drawing anime childlike figures'....because that is what I pictured a golligirl being....cute, childlike......
Sheesh-look at how much trouble one can get into in just a couple of minutes doing a web search... 
There truly is a ton of info on anime....
Charlotte Des Roches DesignsI updated my post up above with a picture of both the boy & girl gollies I have made:)Oops...looks like I should have said my post on page one of this topic...lol
