Hello all,
Whilst I was at TBAE in Stratford on Sunday, I saw a lady carrying a wonderful teddy bear rucksack -- literally a hollow teddy bear with all the features but instead allowed items to be placed inside of him, and sporting straps.
Since I have no street cred, I really *want* such a rucksack. I have looked on ebay and have found some, but they don't interest me, are too small, etc., etc.
Would anyone here know if these things exist within artists here? I think it's such a wonderful idea and I want one. :)

Hi Thomas,
There is one lady I know who owns her own teddy rucksack; he even has a name "bearsac". He travels all around the world with his "owner" Debra Schiman.
She has even written a book about all her travels with bearsac, called "Travels with my teddy bear".
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Debra is one amazing lady. :clap:
You can read all about her (and where she bought her teddy rucksack -> in BELGIUM !!!) on her website : http://www.bearsac.com/index.htm. It's well worth a visit.
I will keep an eye out for a teddy rucksack in Belgium next time I go shopping .
Take care,
Peterbear
Thomas, we have been working on a design for one but don't have it completed yet (it takes us awhile sometimes to get a design the way we like it) . What I'm working on is basically a large bear with a zipper in the back so you can put stuff in it. It has the full head and arms and legs, it's not a purse it's more like what we would call a knapsack. I can let you know when we get the design completed and do one up, can always send you pics. Will have the straps on it the same as a knapsack. Is that what you are talking about?
big hugs
Shane

Sounds exactly right to me. :)

Since we live in a weird time warp here, can get things like that. I have seen all sorts of things made into rucksacs. Will take some pics when I go shopping again... they cheap as chips here and may tide you over till Shane has his done. Having said that, there probably wont be any now......
I will keep you posted , now it will encourage to work even harder and get one finished
big hugs

There you go Shane, otherwise I will have to send him a dreadful one from here :crackup: :crackup:
