Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Id love to make a huge hairy bear, but Im too scared of messing it up! My sewing machine would never be able to process long pile fur, so Id have to do it all by hand.

I really like the look of this bear, the pattern is on etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1061681 … ome_active

It wasnt a joke, Im really interested! Sorry if it came accross badly 

Teds have got me through MANY hard times, and i find their faces very calming ( I have an anxiety disorder ) The zombie teds actually make me feel worse!

Please indulge me, Id love to hear a Teddy Bear Code recital

My teds rampage around the house anyway! Personally, i think a robot teddy takes away a certain charm, not leaving much for the imagination to ponder over. Also, I cant imagine he would be very cuddly!

Absolutley amazing, what a Hugger!

I have tried etsy, and barely got any views, never mind sales! I usually sell on ebay, but it costs :s

Never tried bearpile, the monthly fee kinda put me off

Apparently this is a "thing" now, it breaks my heart!

I really love the colours, you have done a wonderful job!

Thanks for the good advice, I have changed my auction description to specify payment within 24 hours. I should have put something like that to start with!

Been over a week, with no replies to emails or payment. Its really weird, the buyer has 100% good feedback, and has bought bears before. Ive filed a claim through ebay, Im a pretty sad panda! 

Thanks guys, fingers crossed 

Heya folks! I sold a ted on saturday through ebay, and so far the person has not paid. I sent her an invoice, and a kindly "nudge" email, which has had no response. How long should I wait? What should I do if they dont pay?

Thanks for helps!

Bears without faces look creepy! 

Hey peeps! Here is my newest bear, Cuthbert! I hope you like him, you can find him for auction on ebay

Happy Easter! Whos going on an Easter egg hunt 

He looks great, Wookies are awesome 

Thant Sticky up bear is Grumbleduke. I found him in a second hand shop for 50p, he was so rubbish compared to the other bears around, that I had to rescue him.

I have 3 Charlie Bears! They are very nice looking teds

I cant believe this could happen at a bear fair! I hope you are alright, this kind of thing can be very upsetting. Huge well done on your winning bear, he looks amazing 

Bears are great for when you dont feel well! I'm glad he managed to sneak into your bed, Id be lost without my bed bear. He's called Basil and is a very scruffy bear these days 

US Bears, your bear lodge sounds amazing! My bears are slowly taking over my office, they will be demanding tenancy rights next. And if you guys think you have it bad, I spend far too long coming up with back stories for my teds. One even runs a smuggling ring...

Ooh thats so lovely! full of character 

Im very sorry to hear of your lost bear, maybe you could ask the shop you got him from if they have any ideas?

oh my, absolutely stunning show! Thankyou so much for sharing the pictures with us, I wish I could have been there! 

I can only seem to sell bears on ebay, and yes the fees are outrageous. I tried Etsy, but I only got 3 views in 2 months, and no sales
