Apple Dumpling DesignsI stupidly registered for my Extreme Sculpting class right before my eye surgery...how dopey was that...BUT...I've been trying to read over the chapters as she releases them (Nancy doesn't let you worked ahead...clever woman) and have yet to actually apply anything to fur but so far...they are wonderful. She makes it look so simple and downright "DUH...why didn't I think of that." So if you haven't taken the opportunity to do one of her classes (I'm on #2....I did noses already...after my head shredding episode) I highly recommend the investment. It's worth spending the money now on the class and then mohair later to get the look you are wanting in the end. So with the knowledge from her classes combined with everything we get here...I should be a pro in no time. Laughing hysterically...
So...GET REGISTERED!!! I am not a paid sponsor...hee hee!!!

I should be a pro in no time. Laughing hysterically...
Yes, you will be 
I took 6th class with Nancy and of cause
the Extreme Sculpting class too♪ I hope to take more class with
Nancy and our Judi's exiting class.
Here is what I made from Nancy's class with her pattern.
1st one is Beginner Bear : I used Intercal mohair Quality 785V !
2nd one is Sunny(open mouth): I used bearycheap/226.
3rd one is fabulous face. : I used Intercal mohair Quality 820V !
Sorry for showing off......:P
I agree to Shantell♪
PS. I think my photo is too big so I will delete soon.
Thanks/Marie
Pandy Potter BearsMarie your bears are so lovely. I can't believe how far you have come in a short time. Sunny is my favourite.
You are all good adverts for the classes.
Upstate New YorkThanks for the nudge Shantell. I just ordered two books from Amazon ~ 101 Bears to Make by Nancy, and another by Ted Menten. They totalled over $25, so free postage from Amazon. Whoohoo! That'll keep me busy for awhile. I'll target class for dead of Winter I think ... which uh ... is anytime through end of March here!
Posts: 8,574Are you printing up the lessons as you go? Even though the pictures use a lot of color I still printed up my last class in color, because I want to be able to go back and have all the resources.
I think it's funny you signed up for the class before your surgery. You poor dear, but when you signed up you weren't aving the probelms you are now.....but you do have the lesson plans to refer back to.
I am planning on taking the same class soon, sometime this winter when I need a lift. Meanwhile I am signed up for one on needlefelting a bear face. Pigmonkeybear needs a new face, since I hacked off the old one.
Hmmm Hacked off the old one.....don't I have a friend in Oregon, somewhere up north, who hacked a whole bear head up? :lol::lol:
OK! we'd better get back to work!

Marie, your critters are wonderful--so are the EZBear courses, I know.
I'm taking the Business of Bears (stop me if you've heard this one before, quoth the greybeard loon), and it's really helping me to get into the commercial headset.
I was poised to take Extreme Sculpting or Needlefelting, but then got an email from the HSUS with links to videos and slide shows of post Katrina animal rescues. I couldn't stand it, so I sent $50 US. Just a drop in the bucket, as it were, but it may save somebody's Lucy.
It's heartbreaking--rescue boats and copters had just enough room for human survivors, and many had to leave their pets behind. Many others stayed behind rather than abandon their pets.
So now I'll stay ignorant a bit longer, but I feel a bit better. If I could, I'd be down there getting in everybody's way, and then come home with a dozen dogs and several dozen cats! Maybe a ferret.

Apple Dumpling DesignsI donated money to HSUS also...I'm a sucker for animals...even the stupid skunk who has now brought her babies to eat out of the cats dish...AUGH!!!
Marie, your bears are beautiful...I can hardly wait to be able to see well enough to try these new techniques.
Yes, Dilu...I'm actually saving the information on my harddrive so I can print it out later. I had planned on doing that anyway...but now it's even more important. I've been to Portland every day this week...I'm exhausted from just being in the car...and my eye still hurts. Dang it...I think that man has it out for me. 
I almost wet my pants when I read what you said about poor pigmonkeybear....the faceless wonder!! Hurry and give that little one a face
Love to all

Flying Fur StudiosNice to know the classes are good. I'm going to take the pattern design one on Oct.
