Hello!      I got the nerve up and posted for the 1st time today (in the new member area). Although I have been lurking around for awhile now.  Thank you for the warm welcome!        For the most part I am a closet bear maker so this will be the 1st time I have shared any pictures of a few of my little guys!      these two have yet to tell me their names... quite shy so far!   The little brown bear calmed down quite a bit when his friend joined him in the photoshoot.   The other guy is on his way to becoming a little police bear.  He now is in need of a police hat and a badge.     

As you can see I need to work on the photo aspect of this and today learned lesson number 1#: remove all dog fur from the bears as well as the backdrop.   Amazing what you don't see in a camera lense, but stands out like a sore thumb in a photo!   

Again, thank you for the warm welcome and I can't wait to learn more and spend more time with you all!   I can see how this can be addicting!

Duff, so glad you've joined us!!
Those are some crazy cute little bears. I love the soon to be police bear, What a face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And don't worry about your pictures, they look great, and picture taking is very hard. I'm still trying to get good shots.

Ok, I am in awe!  To think that I could get such wonderful comments from such an amazing group!    Thank you for the kind words.     Who knew it would take me so long to find this little piece of heaven!   Over in my neck of the woods, I have not even met another bear maker!   To think, you are all here!    I hope some day to make it to the ebay world, but for now I will practice away!

Now I am at a cross road, do I sew, do I surf the posts, do I dye fabric, do I practice toes,  make patterns..   oops, I still need a police hat...   

Again, Thank you for the support I am glad I made my way here!
