aww he's lovely.
a oh! that looks like a stinky situation..lol
I love what Michelle says, and the way she says it.
I'm a copycat, and I've not even made a bear yet (I've made fleece ferrets for a year now)
I had no intention of ever making bears, till I saw a 'Potbelly Bear' by Shelli and then seeing Kim Basta bears. They have me in love with bears (inspired me) and hooked, on making my own some day. Since then, I've been studying how to make bears, buy books (hinting to hubby about bear books for Christmas..lol) Learning everything I can, from here and every where (on the net) After Christmas, I hope to have the time, to start putting what I've gleened/learnt into practise. So I'm copying as I learn 'how to' make bears, ( and of course ferrets).
I still have my own idea's and want to make my own patterns eventually (as I did with the fleece toys). I'm a sponge, soaking up, with gratitude, all that I can.
aww love him.
This is a bit of trickier. (it's two pic's put together).....they were not all together here really..lol and some of them are there twice..but still a fun pic.
lol he is cute, looks a bit like my Thaddeus. I have 12 ferrets.
Hugs. I hope you are not too bruised and not too sore.
So sorry for your loss. 
The local libary, some times have some really good childrens books, on loss and grief. It might be worth a look.
Very cute, love his expressive face and that paper hat..lol
I hope you don't mind me doing this..
I thought I'd post as an eBay buyer rather than seller. I use eBay, not just for bargins, but I'm home-bound. I can't go to shows, shops to buy the things I want. I've been checking out the eBay for bears, recently. What grabs me? Well price is one thing, if they are priced low, I have wondered if the person is new to bear making, if something is wrong with the bear, wondered if I'm missing something and I've found myself going back and forth between bears to 'see' if I can figure out what's wrong.
I feel bears priced at a med to high price, the artists believes in, knows it's worth and has put heart and soul into.
Also, how the eBay bear has been 'shown' off, makes a difference. Some look so professional and some sadly look cheap. Photo's make a big difference. After all you can't feel these bears, so the photo, has to say it all. They need to be clear and well thought out.
I'd say believe in yourselves and others will believe in you too. As I said, I've been checking out the bears, I've bought none, so far. Why? Because I've seen checked out many different artists, and decided I'd rather save up and buy one of their bears in the future, than a cheap on now. Perhaps others do the same.
85 for me.
Simply adorable. Beautiful little bear.
