If you go to the top of the page you will see a little guy waving his arms at you, this is the library area where you can find all sorts of helpful tips, I hope you find it useful.

Hi Andrea,

A warm welcome to TT. :hug:

The photos of your teddies look great, so cute. I would love to see more of them.

A word of warning though : Marilyn (previous reply) is quite right : This site can become addictive bear_wacko !

Hugs,

Hi Andrea, Welcome, your bears are just wonderful, I really like all three. I am a face felter, and I think you have done an excellent job on Wilf's face. It great you are exploring all the techniques, there are so many ways to make a bear your own.

Thanks for all your wonderful welcomes, this truly is an addictive site and i must admit i do have a quick look most days! Everyone is so friendly and the library is brilliant i have picked up so many tips already. I have just finished some vintage style bears so i will post these on showcase when i get the photos done and your comments would all really be appreciated i am doing my first local bear fair in 3 weeks so i am hoping for a positive reaction to them. I am also starting a new job 2 days a week from monday so my bear making time is shrinking!
