Natascha Oct 27, 2008

I'm sooo happy, my entry "Dodge & Lexi" one the first place at the Euro-Teddy Award in Essen/Germany yesterday in the "miniature bear dressed"-category. :dance:
I still can't believe it as there were so many wonderful entries in this category.
Here are some pictures of my winning bears.
They measure 9,5cm/3,8 inches  standing from head to toe,, with open mouth and moulded teeth and eyelids.
The knitting- and crochet-patterns for the clothes are from an old crafts-book from the 1930s.
And......my two bears were inspired by the movie "Leatherheads", starring George Clooney and Renée Zellweger.
So I would love to thank them for being such great models and I want to send a very, very special thank you to George Clooney, who is also the director of this beautiful film.

Hey Natascha - glad you got back safely - I had visions of you driving with one eye on your wonderful trophy! You were one very happy and excited bunny - and understandably so!

Jeremy is still ploughing thru all the photos we took, both at the show and (mostly) at the zoo - I'll get them posted soon, but for now - here's my "Bear of the weekend"!

Hi Manuela
yes - we did get a couple of pics, but the lighting was pretty bad, and the gorilla mum was hugging the baby to her chest, so you can hardly make it out.............
I promise to get some pics on here tomorrow, including ones of you, Natascha (yes you - we did get some!) and Berta, winning your awards

I loved "Leatherheads", too, Natascha, but it wasn't a really popular movie in the US.  Isn't George dreamy?!

Thank you all so much.
And once more congratulations to Berta and Manuela. Your creations are sooo great.

And yes, I was a little bit mad on Saturday when I heard of my nomination.
I had a pretty hard year (don't want to go into details), made no bears for months and nearly gave up bearmaking completely. I just started again with bearmaking about two  months ago.
And when I was making these bears the fun came back, it was the first time after more than a year that I really enjoyed bearmaking again and now I won this beautiful award.
I'm really, really soooooo happy!
And by the way, on Saturday I was so high that I even wanted to send a thankyou-letter to George Clooney.
