Oh wow Gladys,

I am so interested in your faces.  Mine are not nearly this exagerated, but I think it is really adorable!  I am looking forward to the whole thing.

Hot?  How hot is it?  Are the fires bothering you?  I don't know where you are in Southern Cal.  I did some of my growing up in Southern Cal....I remember hot before we had central air conditioners.  Yikes!!!

You take care, I hope the air quality is not so bad, the fires i imagine are horrendous.

You're doing a great job on you gollies.  I have decided to give the one I am working on away- so she is spoken for, but the other two I would be willing to swap.  Had you thought about doing swaps with this challenge?

hugs


I love your spelling-it makes me feel right at home!

Good that my misspelling makes someone feels good! Thanks for helping feel more at easy in here Dilu, really, not joking now. You are GREAT! I am so happy that, an expert like you, like my babies!! I planing to make another ones  more tradicional ( smaller heads for sure!! ) I love the idea of swapping..but, I always  think that my designs are not good enough bear_sad ...What can I say?? That makes my friends mad a  me but, I can't help it bear_cry How that swap thing works?...Just in case I feel brave?? bear_rolleyes
In here is 106 ( I know ...YIKES!! ). The fires are not too close, I am in a city about one hour and a half  (more or left depending on traffic ) of LA. The fires are at about 200 or 250 miles from here. Poor people that are loosing their houses, their homes!! I can think of being told to leave in a hurry...What about the bears!! I pray that the fires stay away from homes!!
Ok I better go. I have been on today for a long time. We normally go out ( my husband and I ) on Saturday but today??? NO WAY!!  Too hot out there!
In here is 3:00 pm already. I can see that you are on...I wish this was like MSN that you can talk !! Well...Have a nice rest of the day.
Bear hugs.
Gladys bear_flower
PS. Let me see if I can show you another of my Gollies..You never know with me if it is going to "be" here or not bear_cry 13.jpg

Oh Dear. Gladys, honey, I am no expert in anything.  But thanks.  I would take the title if I could.

I have made close to hundred of the little critters in all different shapes and sizes, and I have done some research.  But that's about all.

Re: Swaps

c029.gif

So If you like the idea why don't we all write down our names who want to swap and, uh, well you're the Boss so maybe when you have everyone's names who want to swap you could pull 2 names at a time out of a hat?

Hi Dilu here is a "Senior" Golly. I hope that you can see him. Is part of the set of Golly and bear I donated to Good Bears of the World a few years ago.....Oh I wish I would be able to know where they end up?? That is one ( I'll will like that only one!! ) thing that I am weird about it. hard to let them go sometimes!!

This is a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!  bear_thumb  bear_grin  :dance:

Count me in girls...............
Now, admittedly i have'nt read ALL the posts here yet so if it has to be done like tomorrow, then i can't manage it but if i know us lot here i'm guessing it will be a pretty gentle timescale for finishing.

I LOVE anime as you all know - my Asian Ball Joint Doll collection is now up to 3 girls and 1 boy (i only intended to buy one doll but you know what it's like when you get to collecting stuff) but i did read Dilu's post about what suprising things she found when she Googled Anime.............ha ha ha, it was a bit of a shock to me too when i first did that!
bear_shocked  bear_wacko

I'm quite inspired by this website, don't worry no nudity etc here just a bunch of Japanese teens dressed up in cosplay oufits.....http://mare.exteen.com/.....Why are Japenese girls soooooooo gorgeous? They make me feel like a fat giant (oh yeah, i forgot.......i am a fat giant)
:crackup:

I love making gollies and can't wait to have a go at this challenge.

I ADORE ALL THE ANIME GOLLIES POSTED HERE SO FAR - WAY TO GO GOLLY GIRLS!  bear_thumb  bear_wub

Hi Penny, I was looking at the link you gave on the gorgeous japanese girl...er...i am a bit confused though...the language on the website was Thai, and the girls and boys don't looked very japanese...more like they were dressing up to look like their favourite japanese anime character...maybe I am wrong...my eyes weren't that good though for past days hee hee....apologise if i made a mistake in that.

Beary hugs

Ha Ha Celena..............the trouble with my comp. browser is that whenever i access a website with any Asian/Oriental text it only shows as something like this.........%$£"""*&98^ if you get my meaning, so as i don't read/speak any other langauge other than English it could be written in Martian for all i know, i just went by the Japanese anime character names that are written in English.

Can you translate the text then?

Penny  :hug:

Hee hee Penny...I know what you mean...the computer would show the asian text as %&*^*()&*( hee hee unless you have the text installed in your pc...

Oppsss...sorry Penny, I can't translate the text as I don't know thai BUT recognise how the text looks like only...same with Chinese...as people called me here "A BANANA" , yellow on the outside but white on the inside..meaning doesn't know how to read or write Chinese even though I am a Chinese :-(

Beary hugs

Thanks Dilu.  bear_wub The picture is not good ( worse than usual!! ) because it was with my old camera. I was thinking that maybe I design a grandpa for our challenge?? I am working on two more ( I am getting carried away in here!! ). I saw the one in the gallery that has green eyes and I think it look so deferent!! I am thinking on making one with blue eyes I have never done a Golly with blue eyes but, I want to ask Chrissi if she mind, the idea of color eyes was hers after all.
Have a great night.
Bear hugs.
