Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Here is Mika, she is only 4 1/2"inches tall and I made her with the softest dense Mohair in a nice teal and vanilla Color.
I love this kind of Mohair  from Intercal

Thanks for taking the time looking at my Mika

This is my "Trio" set

How do you photograph a Black Bear?
Cant even see the Details on mine, I tried to place a couple other Bears beside him, but even when I use the flash it did not work

Rita

I wish the picture would have turned out better, maybe someday I learn how to take some REALLY NICE ones.

Well, this is my little Frizzy, he is 5"inches tall, and I stuffed him very lightly with Pellets and polyfill.
I enhanced his eyes a bit and gave him a little Bell Collar
Thank you for looking

Rita

I like you to meet BlueBeary, he is 5"inches tall and I made him with an Ice Blue Colored sparse Mohair.
He is fully jointed and I wired his Arms for more poseability.
I lightly airbrushed around his eyes

Thank you for looking

Rita

Thank you sooo much for all your input and good advice, I really take it to heart.
I know I am too critical sometimes, but this comes from not selling any of my Bears on E=Bay, unless I almost give them away for a few pennies. ( which I wont do anymore either)
I just have to keep improving, and trying out different techniques til I have a Bear I even like a lot.

Thank you again and it was really nice of everybody to help me

Rita

This ones are new, I hope you like them, ( I do ) I made them from my newest Pattern. They are 5 1/2 and the little one is barely 5"inches tall.
Made from sparse, golden brown Mohair.
There Arms are longer than the usually ones, I saw those kind of Bears in a Steiff Book and liked the look of the longer, skinny Arms.
The bigger one has a handmade, beaded Native American Collar around his Neck.

Thanks for Looking

Rita

I need some advise for my Bears, compared to everybody elses, mine always look so plain and unfinished, even when I dress them, give them Bows, airbrush them or whatever I can think of, they just dont seem to look ok!!
The last few I made, I just left them "bare".
Can anybody honestly tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you all for the advice, I sure can use any help I can get

Rita

This is Cosmo, he is only 5"inches tall and I made him with sparse, golden brown Mohair
Thank you for looking

one more

This is Timmy,
my newest Pattern. I do like how he turned out, and I think I stick with this Pattern for a while.
I made him with sparse, matte Mohair
The pictures show different colors, the golden brown color shows to be more true

This is Andy, he is one of my older Bear Pattern
Andy is 12" and made of a nice soft brown tipped Mohair
Around his Neck he wears a little Dreamcatcher Necklace

Rita

Who likes to swap Links with me? I made a new Website
I do prefer Textlinks, they dont take too long to load

Rita

Thank you everybody for the nice "Comeback" welcome. It is a joy to have time making Bears again
Now I am working on better designs for my Bears, just trying to "compete" ( without copying ) with everybodys wonderful Artist Bears.
I may never reach that Level, but, I am working on it

Have a great evening

Rita
