Charlotte, she'd surely ge a great home with lots of love over here in Germany! And my bears would make sure to give her a warm welcome 
I'm watching the auction and will bid when the right time has com.... (very funny thing.. I'll maybe start my collection of artist bears - with a bunny lol)
Hugs, Ariane
oh, wow, I love her! Normally, I'm not really fond on vintage styled bears, but this one looks great! Especially the face is very appealing to me!
Hm..maybe I'll be able to win the ebay auction *crossing fingers*
Big Hugs, Ariane
wow, great!
I love your bears and posted a comment. would love to win one of the two cuteys...
Well, I probably won't win...but there s a little chance lol
Just wondering...if I commissioned you for a little bear, how much would you charge aproximately?
Big hugs, Ariane
OMG, I can't believe I won *doing the happy dance*
Haven't won anything in my life and am so happy - it's such a great way to start they year!
Ariane
Oh good, this reassures me :hug:
Thanks for your ncouragements, I hope to be able to start selling my bears this year...
Hugs, Ariane
OMG, I love the golden one with the bells and the cute little panda!!!! 
......that reminds me of the fact that I wanted to come back to you for one of your bears... :redface: :redface: Gosh, I totally forgot it! ope you aren't angry with me!
Big hugs, Ariane
Thanks to you both. :hug:
I must agree with you, Joanne, I quite liked to use this unusual fabric and now plan to make some kind of series... maybe only bears with unusual fabrics (as I have very much of these) which all look "traditional" - or I could make 2 bears out of the same pattern, the first one like Nils (with mohair/ "normal bear fabric" for the food and paw pads) and the second one reversed (like a "normal" bear... do you know what I mean? sounds kinda confused, I know 
)
Hugs, Ariane
Hi Ladies, thanks a lot for your lovely comments, Nils surely appreciates them
hugs, Ariane
Hey there,
I'd like to present Nils to you, my last bear made in 2010. I'm here at my boyfriend's and sudenly the bear-mojo overcame me - but I hadn't my materials here. What did I do? I took what I could get, wool, felt, pads of cotton wool (for the filling; don't know how they're called in English), buttons and then press-buttons for his eyes.
Although he certainly IS different from what I normally make, I do love him a lot, he certainly looks weird but in a cute way 
I started Nils yesterday and just finished him an hour ago - btw thanks to my boyfriend who named him -, a cute 12,5cm high bundle of joy, complete with his scarf and a wee lil' tail (my first on a bear)!
Hope you like him and we wish you a happy new year!
Hugs, Ariane
Great, I love his face - and Marilyn is absolutely right, I recognized him as one of your's, too!
Hugs, Ariane
Oooohh, I would love to give this sweet little boy a big hug, he certainly needs some!
hugs, Ariane
great tour, I enjoyed t very much!
BTW...you have BJDs..? Wish I had the money to buy me one...
Hugs, Ariane
Oh Karon,
I'm so sorry to hear this, it must be so hard for you! (Well, for me it is hard to keep away from the bears, I haven't done one in some months but would love to have the time to.....)
I do hope that you'll get back your Mojo very soon :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Hugs and best wishes, Ariane
Awww, he's so sweet!! The nose and eyes do harmonize very well^^
Sweeeet!
Although your bear always look so sad.. *wants to give them all a big hug*
Ariane
I'm not sure but I think character bears are bears with a special extra..something like..attitude?
For example, the bear discussed in the ebearz course "Toots" (by Ted Menten) is a character bear, I believe.
You can take a look at him here: http://www.kranbearys.com/Ebearz/Bears/Toots.htm
Hugs, ariane
Kein Problem, helfe gerne wenn ich kann^^
Oh wow, I must agree with Brenda, this bear is absolutely stunning! I love the look on his face, his eyes (with those eyelids) are so charming
Hugs, Ariane
Awww, how sweet
PS: Du kannst ein zweites Foto auch im ersten Posting hochladen. Einfach auf "Edit" gehen, nachdem du den Post mit dem ersten Bild abgeschickt hast, und noch eins hochladen ;)
Hugs, Ariane
I think it will look lovely, too, although it depends on the shade of orange you use. You might want to sew the head and stitch the nose and then hold the eyes in front of it to see how it looks to you
Hugs, ariane
I can see the picture now, too^^
But I'm sorry, I can't help you to identify this bear - hopefully the others will know more^^
Ariane
Aww, what cute little bears - seems like you were the perfect swap partners for each other! *_*
Ariane
Voted for her with my two email addresses - and with my mother's one
