Dear friends - dear bear-lovers!!!
Can't tell you how happy I am in these days - in the latest issue of "BärReport" I was able to saw, that it is true: my bear - my Bell-Lino is nominated for the TED 2010.
This is the third year I'm participating at the TED and the last 2 times my bears haven't been lucky enough to be a part at the end. But finally this year little Bell-Lino did a good job. Yes he is nominated for the TED in the categorie "artist undressed" and I'm looking forward to the show at Wiesbaden to see my bear sitting between all the famous bears of my lovely friends.
So please be so kind and have a look at my little Bell-Lino with his lovely little bell (there his name comes from ....!!)
Congratulations!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Your Bell-Lino is soo adorable. I love his face and his pawpads!
Congratulations Andrea that is terrific news :clap: :clap:

But how WONDERFUL!! It seems like I still have a very old email to you in my Drafts folder, yet to be followed up on, that we were conversing with each other about 8 or 9 months ago - - about "What's wrong with my work? What am I missing here? "
And I had yet to write - NOTHING!!
You just hadn't quite been noticed by quite the right ppl - - - yet...
We all get our opportunities, sooner or later.
The first time I won an TOBY award, my speech opened like this:
"The Lord provides the right type of seed for every type of bird, BUT he doesn't toss it into the nest!
It's just the same with bear competitions: you can design and create the World's Most Perfect Teddy, but unless YOU get the word out there and put in onto competitions and into the public eye, it may as well stay in your Studio."

It's really hard for the shy among us to push ourselves forward, but if not into competitions, then when?
And, Andrea, this clever use of co-ordinating color and the perfect matching at all points, shows that the judges appreciate the time and experience you've got under-your-belt, refining your excellent bear-making skills.
Toot! Tooting your Horn for you!!!
