Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

You must have some patience to do all of those flowers! Very cute, and nicely done Jan.

It's a GRaY HaRe, just in time for Easter!

I used spun wool, to crochet every part/piece, and then put him through a felting process and even hand-dyed him to color perfection.

He has wonderful details for his small size of  5 1/2" tall (head to toe). He is fully thread jointed and slightly weighted! His face and paws are all embroidered. A little shading was added for detail. He wears a wool collar with primitive stitched details... pinned on with a burgundy bow. He is a unique piece-- A perfect addition to any primitive collection. I always strive to offer quality unique items which I hope will be treasured for years to come.

I love all the work that went into this one. All the photos tell the story perfectly. Very unique! Adorable little duo.

Beautiful, beautiful bear! I can only imagine how much work went into creating her, but it looks like she was well worth the effort. I love all of her details. Definitely a bear to be proud of, Denise!

He is adorable, and I love his shape! His details are perfect. I just love pandas. Also, congratulations on your exhibit!! It is well deserved!

Wow, what great detail! She is exquisite, and congrats on winning a Toby for her--it is well deserved--especially since it is your first entry and award! I love that you explain all of the work that goes into your items, even down to the accessories. Again, congrats! She is lovely.

An adorable little bear! Those overalls are perfect for him.

Thanks for having a look, Denise and Jenny! I'm glad you liked this little guy!

I am offering, WiLLie TeD, a miniature teddy bear, made out of crochet stitches of fine cotton thread.

He measures only 2 1/4" tall and he is fully thread jointed. WiLLie TeD  was designed to have details similar to larger bears with his detailed limbs with a body fully stuffed -- he just begs you for a hug.  His sparsely stitched nose, mouth and eyes are all embroidered. A little shading was added for detail. He wears a red bow for his new owner. He has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any miniature collection. I always strive to offer quality unique items which I hope will be treasured for years to come.

What a sweet bear--her top is just lovely. 

Thank you, Denise and Michelle, for having a look at this little guy, and thank you for the kind words! I knew it was a little risky listing a snowman after Christmas...but, I am kind of testing the waters to see what venue would be best for offering Christmas items year-round. I had multiple requests for snowmen this last holiday season, and it's hard to squeeze in some requests in-between working on what I'm inspired to make during that busy time of year! 

And Michelle, I'm sure it's just like riding a bike--give it a couple more tries and it'll be like you never missed a day crocheting.

Handsome rabbit--fantastic for the up-coming Spring season. His sweater is just perfect.

This offering is for one of my miniature, hand crochet dolls. This Snowman is made in vintage style colors and with all the charm of an antique ornament. This snowman is made, stitch-by-stitch, of cotton thread and only 4 3/8" tall from the top of his hat to the tips of his toes. He is thread jointed in his arm and legs. His eyes and mouth is embroidery and his nose is a crochet carrot. A little shading was added for detail. His hat is stitched on as is his pom-poms and trims. He wears a ruffled collar. He has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any primitive collection

Thank you, Denise. You are always so kind! 

Cranberry Bear is a unique piece, handmade using an old technique.

Cranberry was crocheted out of 100% spun wool, and then put through a process know as felting, fulling and/or boiling wool.  The fulling shrinks the piece giving it a more solid, thicker effect. Cranberry bear was hand-dyed for an aged effect and is a small size of 6 1/4" tall. He is fully thread jointed and given a little weight for sweet 'pose'abilities. His face and claw details are embroidery.. and a little shading added for detail. Cranberry is dressed in formal attire (wearing his black ribbon).  He has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any primitive décor.   I always strive to offer quality unique items which I hope will be treasured for years to come.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your consideration!

I am offering another unique piece, made using an old technique.

I hand crocheted this snowman out of 100% spun wool, and then put him through a process know as felting, fulling and or boiling wool.  This process shrinks the piece giving it a more solid, thicker effect. SNoWMaN is 18" tall from the top of his hat to the tips of his toes and he is thread jointed in his arm and legs. He doesn't just hang, from wire on his back, he'll also sit.  His face is embroidery.. and a little shading added for detail. His hat is stitched on. He wears a fabric collar. SNoWMaN brings with him his Christmas tree and WiSH sign. He has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any primitive décor.   I always strive to offer quality unique items which I hope will be treasured for years to come.

Thank you for the kind comments, glad you liked him! I agree, Becky, he does resemble Pooh a bit.

Handsome guy!

Thanks for looking at ORNie, Denise and Vicki!
