What a hoot! Yes, I've been told my bears look like me - or - I look like my bears (whatever)!
My feeling is that after a bear maker starts designing his/her own patterns and develops a personal "look/style", the bears will certainly start revealing the individual artist's personality. I think an artist bear expresses the life experiences of the artist somehow in a "magical" way. Eeeekkk . . . I'm getting a bit esoteric here.
Anyway, I do believe bears can and do look like their creators - just like dogs can resemble their owners sometimes!
Judi, add some of your delightful bears to the "for sale" forum. I don't want to be the only one. 
WOOHOO!! Glad to have you aboard, Judi and welcome!
Let's all have a bunch of fun here!
