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. :)

Boechout, AntwerpHi 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
Little Bear GuyThomas, 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

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......
Little Bear GuyI will keep you posted , now it will encourage to work even harder and get one finished
big hugs
