HOW GREAT you are.....I am so proud of you.....Isn't Judi great.....I love the way she explains everything

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! you've done clons of Judi's bears!!!!! terrific! fantastic! It means that judi must be an extraordinary teacher!

Judi, honey, why are you soooo far from my home!  If I had a private jet, I would be able to cross the ocean to go to your workshop. I need a fairy and a wizzard to help me get a private jet and a pilot and everything! Unless I find a treasure! hey, I never tried to dig in the garden!!! Maybe there is a treasure hidden! 

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Mathilda, that needle sculpting is absolutely divine.  What a sweet expression!  What a great job you've done; thanks for sharing.  It's good advertising for Judi's teaching talent and for eBearzU, a very worthy place to spend your beary precious time!

Well done ........ what a great face

rufnut Nov 26, 2005

Well done Matilda, excellent.  :clap:

matilda Nov 26, 2005

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU! I shall now take a bow.

I highly recommend anyone wishing to do needle felting to do this workshop. It is even for the more advanced needle felter as well. :clap:

It is strange but it didnt take up any of my time. I was doing another bear while doing this one. The face which I have finished. AND.. I realy pleased with that one as well.

What Judi does is offer a solid base of information for her students to take away with them. And that is because she is formally trained in the arts. AND she's so darn sweet. :cake:

The class was a joy. I loved logging in each day.  I will be doing her sray painting next year. To complement the course I'm doing this summer in Fremantle.
I love LEO so much I cant stop looking at him. Which is good really , because if I wasnt so besotted I wouldnt have spotted a glaring mistake. Which I took a needle to of course.(but mistakes sont magically disapear off photos of course).
Thankyou for your kind comments, I 'll pop back in a couple of days. Got bears to make. Got Sabines bear to make. To be more precise. :hug: Matilda

PS: my reject bears wont know whats hit them soon, when I get the felting needles to them

DebbieD Nov 26, 2005

Oh well done you!!!  :clap: :clap:  He's absolutely ADORABLE!!!  And a wonderful testament to Judi's teaching technicques.  You look a pro on your first time out.  : :clap: Yeahhhhhh....

Judi Nov 27, 2005

Matilda,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful comments about my class.  That means a great deal to me.  I always want eveyone to be successful but I can only lead the horse to the water...... and My oh my, have you taken a drink!(   but not calling you a horse my dear).  Thank you for the wonderful feedback.  I am very pleased that you really got something from the class.  You did a beautiful job.  I hope you will keep him forever.

Also, if you wanted to, you could trim down the mohair on his paws and needle felt some toe-toes.  It would only be icing on a delicious cake! :cake: :cake: :cake:

matilda Nov 27, 2005

OH Judi Judi Judi I've started the toes. Made the foundation balls, BUT I dont have enough roving to finish the job. The roving I bought at the fair is different to what was on offer earlier in the year. So I'll have to wait awhile till I can get more. You are of course absolutely right, it would finish him just perfectly.

I love your new avatar. If only I could do toes like that for my Leo.Did you check out my web space and see the head of the kangaroo. I've almost finished him and am so excited. He's turning out just as I was hopeing.

The roving for his face which I hated while felting it now looks marvelous ,it is completed. It reminds me of dog hair on the car rug. True, it has these course bits all through it.

Your a marvel and have changed my bear making to an extent that I would never have dreamed of.  thankyou.     Matilda

PS: have shown LEO to so many people and they have gone gaga over him. I'm on such a high at the moment.
Life is beautiful

patsylakebears Nov 28, 2005

Matilda... Judi is this an online course you did?? I love your work Judi and would to do a class if there is one online as I couldn't get over to the States....

psichick78 Nov 28, 2005

Patzy, it IS an on-line course. Very easy to take.
You can find it at the EZ bear university. Cheap and well worth it.
