Calling all TEDDY TALK participants and lurkers! Attention all bearmakers of good heart!
I wanted to bring attention to a worthwhile and fun endeavor happening at Nancy Tillberg's NORTH COUNTRY TEDDY BEARS forum.
Some while back, a group of bearmakers on the Edinburgh forum decided it might be fun to make bears from a single pattern; Nancy offered permission to use one of hers from her "101 BEARS TO MAKE" book.
What to do with the bears when done, though, became the question. So we decided to create a charitable auction opportunity here.
The auction will occur sometime in September, staggered throughout the month, with dates assigned by the organizers (mostly Nancy.) All that, TBA.
Right now, we're gearing up discussion to determine which charitable organization will benefit from this group auction effort.
We will be running the auction on eBay, through eBay Giving Works, which utilizes MissionFish to certify all non-profit organizations.
If you'd like to get involved, I encourage you to visit Nancy's site NORTH COUNTRY TEDDY BEARS for more information, and perhaps to join the growing ranks of participating artists.
Because this originated at the Edinburgh forum, Edinburgh has offered a percentage off mohair used in this bearmaking endeavor. Check their site's HOME page for details.
Thanks for your consideration!

Kiprie BearsI'm in! I'm in !!!! 
Kim-Bee BearsI signed up... I hope my bear sells! - I guess I need to have more faith in myself! Where is the "list" of all artists and where do the pictures of the bears go (I mean is there a "library" of all finished bears)?
The list of participating artists is here: http://www.northcountryteddybears.com/T … photos.htm
Artists are just completing -- or, as in my case, haven't even yet started! -- their bears around now and will be submitting finished pieces for posting as they can, so the Photo Gallery page isn't up yet.
You can visit North Country Teddy Bears forum and check out the TEDDIES 4 CHARITY thread if you have comments and questions that might be better answered by Nancy Tillberg and/or the rest of the participating artists.
