Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

This can't come to a happy ending, can it?

      Hmmmm, bear or frog?

So sweet!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend the talks they're having this year, but I'll definitely go to the show!  (YAY)  Anyway, as a collector, I'd like to know how you got interested in bears, for example, why you started making bears, what kind of journey you've had in bear-making, what were the ups and downs, and what goes into your ideas for making a bear.   What are your other passions in life and how do they affect your bear-making?   I just love hearing an artist's story...it's always very inspirational!  When i'm talking to an artist about their bears and their eyes light up with passion and joy for their trade as they tell me their story, it does influence me on whether to purchase their bear. 

Anyway, best wishes on your presentation!  Sounds very exciting!!  Good luck!

true beauties!

hahaha, Us bears!!!!

Love it!

       (And look at all that fresh veg!)

Bull frogs!!  (I couldn't resist!)    

       I wish I could hide from Monday, too....

Wow, these are sooooo impressive!  I could never pick a favorite teddy in your bear cave...they'd all be my favorites!

i suppose this koala is now happily full.
