I just subscribed today to Teddy Bear Scene.  And it only cost me ten million dollars to get twelve months of a UK mag sent across the Atlantic to northern California.  I'm coming after all of you if I end up disappointed...  (not really, laughing here; I'm sure it's a great magazine and look forward to my first issue in October.  I've literally never even seen a copy; I doubt it's reliably available here.)

It is a fantastic magazine Shelli.  I love it.  Too expensive for me to subscribe though, so I have a standing order (along with a bizziloin copies of different bear magazines)
I'm sure you will enjoy it.  I think it's one of the best!

Okay, maybe it's just that it's after 1o'clock in the morning here, but I don't understand what you just wrote, Danni.  You don't have a subscription, but you have a standing order?  What's that?  You mean, like, at a local newsstand?  They save you a copy?  Huh?  What?  Is it morning yet?

YES, I'm up working on a bear.   Typical.

Grins,

I'm happy for you Danni and i know what you can be your feelings because i also have a clothdoll published in the last Patti Medaris Culea book.

Well done Danni!!! What a cofidence booster for you! I'm sure Bernard will go fast now!
Congrats to you too Irene...would love to see a scan of your article too!

Laura Lynn Banner SponsorAug 15, 2005

Oh very well done Danni  He's just a doll!!

Delartful Bears Aug 15, 2005

THanks everyone for the congratulations - I appreciate it!

Shelli, I thought a standing order was a universal term, I appologise.  Standing order means that when the magazine comes in (they will always order it for me) they put it away in my own little file, and call me so I know it's there!

Congratulations Danni,you must be so proud.  

Irene,I noticed on another thread that you make soft sculpture dolls so I browsed your sight.They are wonderful.I started making cloth dolls the same time as bears but I spent more time on bears and don't have any cloth dolls to show right now.I was very excited when I saw your posting about the book.I just bought the book this past week,I love your doll. I am inspired to work on my dolls again.
Hugs and blessings,Shari.

Irene Aug 15, 2005

Thank you Laura and shari. I've began by making cloth dolls 3 years ago and i really love that, but since i decided to built my little business, i'm more a bearmaker. Working for cleaning, house, built the garden,plus 3 childrens and my husband (another child) take many hours a day,so i don't have enougnt time to sew both dolls and bears. I'm a Patti's fan like many people and was just amazed that she asked me to design a doll for her book. Just go ahead in your doll making and send a picture If you want advices, don't hesitate to ask

Oh, I was just looking at this book at BORDERS during a recent trip to San Francisco!  You've got to be fabulously talented to be included in it, Irene; I'll have to check out your site for more peeks at your work.  I'm a frustrated dollmaker at heart (honestly, I loathe sewing up little clothes; that's half the reason), who's turned to the bear side to keep that creature-creating thing alive.

Thanks so much for posting the pics.  I know that book very well.  Beautiful doll!

Dilu Aug 15, 2005

You are all so nice ladys. Thank you to look at my work. If i can help in dollmaking, i will do so. I have many patterns and materials for dollmaking, but i just don't have time now, because i had to sew many bears to update my website and i plan to exibit in some fairs in automn and in december. I've just did one in june and i was so happy to sold 4 bears. I was also pleased to see people laughing and smiling about them. Hey danni, just go ahead in dollmaking. Im going to surf on some bearmakers site now
