Back Road BearsI think I must be really hooked as I tend to see bears in every piece of fabric, rug, cushion and clothing that I see :crackup:
I've luckily stopped myself a time or two from saying out loud "Oh, your dog's fur would make a beautiful teddy bear!" How awful that would be!
:crackup:
FenBeary FolkI know what you mean we have a gorgeous tan/black long haired german shepherd who is 18months and I have eyed her fur a few times -contemplating how I could use all the fur she sheds, I could certainly stuff a lot with it but how to weave it onto a backing eludes me at the moment :crackup:
Little Bear GuyThis Japanese silk stuff is sounding very interesting.... Edinburgh doesn't have theirs in yet.
But it's on it's way!
Hey Daphne, just came back from TBAI and believe it or not Edinburgh was there, and they had the silk stuff , it's very soft but be prepared to cut off your right arm to buy it. It's over the moon in price, it's very soft but I'd be interested to hear how it is to work with.

Back Road BearsGood... that they have it now... they didn't for their big preview at Expo or for my show last weekend as expected.
Bad... that it's so expensive... more than their mohair?
Edited to say I spoke w/Edin. today... they only had a few small pieces which Pete brought to TBAI... they don't have any in the warehouse yet and no prices.
Flying Fur StudiosGood tips daph, I'll now be looking at throws.............
Yes, you have to be creative to find cool stuff to make bears out of. I've found some great stuff thanks to this thread.
Oh, and the african stuff seems cheap if you buy it off their site. The prices even include shipping!!!!!
Little Bear GuyWell if I remember correctly the Silk that Pete had at TBAI Daphne was around 68-69.00 per quater, would be one really expensive bear when all is said and done. It was beautiful stuff though and sooo soft, appeared to have a really nice backing to it as well.

FenBeary FolkMy Loubear samples arrived this morning and they look really lovely, I have checked the exchage rate again and they look really well priced :hug:
Back Road BearsSue - I placed my order online Sunday night and got a shipping confirmation by mid-day on Monday! They are fast!! I ordered 3 different styles in various colors. I can't wait to get it!
FenBeary FolkOh Daphne, you will have to let us know what they are like when they arrive, my samples took 8 days airmail so not bad at all :hug:
