O.k. Here goes.......these are the 3 fur bears I made this week.  I'm not so sure about Honey, she looks like a cat to me LOL !  Poor Riley looks so forlorn, but I like Nanuq.  He's my favorite.

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

Tammy Aug 18, 2005

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.

Girls !! I admire all your wonderful work! Your bears just adorable;)

You MADE me to improve myself in techniques and different styles. I'm a begginer teddy bear artist (at least I'm trying to be the one :rollyes:) I leave in Russia and the only one in my town make teddies. As far as I know..
Just wanted to show my latest bear to hear any words from you, guys.
Vasya-vasilek
11 inch, glass hand painted eyes, leather eyelids (my first one ever made - thank you, Shelli), plastic pellets, mohair (Japan made).

Shelli Retired Help Advisor, Banner SponsorAug 19, 2005

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!

plushkinbear Aug 19, 2005

Shelli, thanks for such a cherishing words. :)

This, blue bear has recovered all new stuff I got to know from this forum:

painted glass eyes
leather eyelids
such a low-slung ears
needle-sculpted mouth

And my second bear Rozochka (English: Little Rose)
I've made only two mohair bear yet.
11 inch, mohair, glass beads, growler, eyelids, glass eyes, shaded face.

plushkinbear Aug 19, 2005

Growler is just wonderful! It gives a character and a weight as well:lol:

Yes, like Marie, I have never heard of Japanese mohair.  Sounds fascinating!

Welcome to the board Vasya!!!  Your bears are adorable, and you are a great job!

Have fun.
Danni

plushkinbear Aug 19, 2005

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..:)

hugs to all of you

Julia, your english is just fine!!!!  Doesn't sound like you haven't used it in over 12 years. Amazing.

Multi-lingual people are soo clever!

doodlebears Celebration AmbassadorAug 19, 2005

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)
