Jennifer, you're a rock star.  Come live with me, or at least drop by next time you're visiting Sally.  Another awesome little guy.  Too bad about the puppy but there's such nice balance with your triangulated little setup of three; what would you have done with a fourth element to include?  <-- that's called a positive reframe.

Keep 'em coming; I'm really loving your work.  Are you submitting pictures to magazines yet?

THANK YOU SHELLI. That means a lot coming from you! Yes, I will come see you in June! (CHS graduation).

I would have had the bear holding puppy so it still looked like part of the bear, yet had another element but not looked like a "fourth." Is that what you mean?

I have never thought about submitting to a magazine.  bear_ermm I didn't even think it was within my realm. Maybe I should at least go BUY one and check it out.  bear_whistle

I am in the finals of a new one right now. A Panda. Thought I should try something with bright colors. I should have a pic later today.

Honey, it's more than within your realm.  I predict a write up on you within the year.  I have no connections or influence anywhere, mind you; I just think the quality and originality and whimsy of your work demands it.

Check out the two domestic magazines:
TEDDY BEAR & FRIENDS ---> https://commerce37.pair.com/madavor/tbf … scribe.php
EDDY BEAR REVIEW  ---> https://www.jonespublishing.com/teddybe … scribe.asp

They're much cheaper and easier to come by via subscription; they can be hard to find at bookstores. 

There are also plenty of international magazines but rather than do all the hard work to replicate their info here can I point you to my Squiddo lens (click under my signature) instead?  They're listed there.  Anyone else reading this, if I forgot some international magazines (and I'm sure I did since there are no German ones listed at my Squidoo and I know they exist) please let me know privately via PM or eMail (don't want to bogart Jennifer's post!)  I want the list to be complete.

That's what it's all about for me...making a little difference. Plus it's fun.
The kid part in me saying, "Hey lookie what I made out of a wad of sheep and a needle!"

But really, I'll check out the magazines. Thank you!
