wachallenge2010web.jpgPlease meet my new design for my Pattern Range "Murphy".
In my hometown of Perth, Australia, we run a little competition annually where all entrants use the same pattern to create their own interpretation of the bear without changing the original design at all. I have been honoured to design the 2010 pattern, and if anyone is interested in taking part in our humble little event, please contact me to register your interest. Competition details have not been finalised yet, but I will post them on my Website and Blog as soon as they are available.
Thanks for looking bear_thumb
Best wishes to you all during the holiday season bear_flower

That does sound interesting.  Do you have to have been selling for a while to enter, or will a month and a half do?

Hi guys, am waiting to hear back from the organiser, so will let you know ASAP.
All I know for now is that it's a "hands on" judged competition, so you will have to mail your entries to Australia.

Well done Kim,  I had heard thru the teddy tree grape vine that Murphy was as cute as cute could be  (and that was from Kerry so he must be cute)
Great work and I am proud your doing the pattern this year!

Thanks guys bear_flower , well, still no official details yet, but I can tell you that you have a while yet to prepare as it is scheduled for around the middle of this year. As I've mentioned before, it will be a "hands on" judged competition and all entries will have to be mailed to Perth, Australia and you will be able to enter as a Novice, through to Professional.
I will post the contact information here and on my website when it is available, we are also hoping that it will be covered in an upcoming issue of Australian Bear Creations.

Wow the two bears look so different and it is such a cute pattern design. If it wasn't for the mailing part it would have been fun to participate. I hope you can show us pics of some of the entries!

Thanks Lisa, Tami and Edie, I have made 5 Murphy's to date, all very different to look at too ( you can check them out on my Blog ).
I know sending them in is a pain in the backside, but I have learned so much from having my work physically critiqued that I would recommend it to anyone wanting constructive feedback.
My teacher is one of the judges and I will be helping out too, and yep it sure is gonna be fun to participate :dance: , can't wait!
I will definately be taking pics of all the entries and would love to share them with you bear_flower
I have the entry requirements now, so I will be posting them soon, on my website and blog.
Thanks to all you guys that have been patiently waiting...not too long now, I will let you all know here when it is ready to view bear_thumb
