For artists and collectors sponsored by Intercal...your mohair supplier and Johnna's Mohair Store
Look beneath the MARKETPLACE heading on the Index page to find this great new feature, which we've cleverly entitled FREE PATTERNS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the FREE PATTERNS area you'll find two separate threads:
1.) A FREE PATTERN you can download at home.
2.) A PATTERN CLASSROOM, where you can ask any question(s) you might have regarding the construction, fabric choice, and finishing of bears you make using this pattern.
Huge thanks to awesome human being, multi-award-winning bear artist, and Teddy Talk Advisor, Sue Ann Holcomb of PAST TIME BEARS, for generously granting permission to use her darling pattern for "GOLDIE" as our premiere offering.
For this and any future pattern, please be sure to read all accompanying instructions, including any copyright information and terms of use, carefully, before embarking on your project.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awesome, right? But that's not even the BEST part! We've got even MORE goodies in store for you...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Included in the pattern instructions you'll find MOHAIR RECOMMENDATIONS from Sue Ann herself, including both quality and color suggestions, and photos of those to boot!, making it ever-so-easy for you to get "inside the artist's head," creatively.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUS... still more, can you believe it? ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have the brand-new option to CREATE-YOUR-OWN-KIT of mohair and supplies (eyes, joint hardware, disks, thread, ALL OF IT!) for "GOLDIE" from any of the five recommended mohairs. Just click on the CREATE-YOUR-OWN-KIT link under the mohair of your choice and you'll be taken to a page on Intercal's website where you can order what you need, as you need it, customized to YOUR fondest wishes and creative vision for your work!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't stop there, though. Just gotta add one last dimension to this great new feature...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're finished creating your bear from Sue Ann's "GOLDIE" pattern, please post photos in the CHALLENGE GALLERY set up specifically to showcase your efforts. We're hoping to have a gallery of pieces, all done up in different mohairs, created by different artists, to show just how important the INDIVIDUAL behind teddy's construction actually is, to the final look and outcome.

Irenours-bearsWonderfull idea for sure for all of us,particularly for the bigginners. When i started making bears, i had difficulties to find where to buy mohairs and the kind of mohairs :hug: wich will suit my projects. With this new future, it's much more easier.
What a lovely idea! Well done Sue Ann for offering up the beautiful Goldie pattern and to TT for setting this super challenge up! :clap:
DoodlebearsThanks for doing this Sue Ann. I have downloaded the pattern and I hope to be able to find time to make the bear soon, although I'm busy making bears for the Alexandra Palace show next month...I will try and make her up as she is so pretty and would make a lovely gift for my daughter.
Hugs Jane.

Past Time BearsIt's my pleasure to offer the Goldie pattern for this challenge. Quy and Kjeld have been tremendously important in getting this new feature up and going and Shelli is tops in knowing how to announce that it's available. I hope all of you who have printed the pattern will enjoy constructing the bear. I'm really looking forward to seeing your version of Goldie! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
