Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

I took the time out to rephotograph them while the computer was sent off to get more hard drive space. My nice computer guy did some other jazzing up of things for me as well. Can't believe how fast it is working now.
The pic's are well and truely lost. I DELETED THEM can't get more lost than that. It's one mistake I wont do again.
I had some lovely shots of the ring neck parrots feeding and courting in my back yard.  If I'm patient I'll get other chance to photograph them. Thankyou for your concern. I doubt it will be the last mistake I'll make. I'm a walking talking MURPHY. :dance:Matilda.

I just the faces on your bears. Just SO cute.

Thankyou for the applause. Needle felting is so easy, it would be a shame if anyone was ever put off. Do give it a try. You'll be amazed.
I bought this fabric at a fair. Totally spontaneous buy. She's my favourite bear at the moment.
Matilda:dance:

Did anyone notice my avatar????????
Bluebell's face ,nose, eyelids and open mouth are needlefelted.:dance:

Can you believe it . I downloaded them in to my photo file ready to edit. deleted them on my camera.WITHOUT CHECKING FIRST:doh: and they are all gone:( All the time I spent on posing all my bears.  I was going to get myself one of those free web sites. Put them all on there so my family could pop in when ever they wanted to see what I had been upto. BUGGA BUGGA BUGGA. Damn, blast and tarnation!:(:mad:
It looks like Ill have to do it all again.   Matilda:dance:

:clap::clap::clap::clap:HIP HIP HURRAY:dance::dance:Matilda

These people ( and I use the term loosely) are someone's children.
Scary that aye!!

I would advise in this day and age not to give your phone numbers or address's out, unless it is to a valued customer.
Everyone has internet access. Whether it is through own a computer themselves ,friends family cafes and the library.
I'm sorry but I wont even give out my real name unless I believe I can trust someone. It isnt that I dont trust you lot. But there are some creepy (people) out there reading everything we type. I like and respect you all,
but my privacy and safety come first. If any of you have children and spouses. You must be responsible in protecting them.:redface:  I'll get off my soap box now:lol::dance:

Shantell!! you beat me to it. I having been thinking the same thing. I spend so much time on teddytalk that when I cant look or comment on everybear, I feel that I might have upset someone. And I was wondering if maybe I should post an explanation and apology.I do it now!!!!:clap::clap::clap:to everyone.
Matilda

OH! WOW!! you have all really blown me away with your very kind an enthusiastic applause. I'm right CHUFFED.
I have been kept busy taking photo's of all my bears. And then editing. I copied the plans off of the net for a photo tent. Someone on this site was kind enough to leave the link. And the guy who owns that site was kind enough to let us print out his design. Hurrah!!!!:clap: Havent built it yet.Will though.
I'm finding it all rather fun. I am having difficulty though.I keep forgetting what I'm doing!!!!!:lol:
Again a big thankyou to you all!!!:teddybear:

I could'nt log out until I was sure someone saw them . Otherwise I thought maybe I was dreaming.

Thankyou Paula for your instructions. Once I worked out out the prep in my files I followed your instructions and WALLAR!!!:lol:
Thankyou for the lovely compliments. My avatar bear is in 'showcase'

Tomorrow night I'll post 'Kitty'    goodnight I'm off to bed    matilda

This is blue bell. I know she looks like a boy .,but she's not. She has a needle felted muzzle,nose  with an open mouth and little wee tongue. She stands at 6.6 inches. She is the same pattern as woodrow but with a shorter muzzle. I wanted to be able to accommedate the needle felting. I would still like to give her a paint job. But not quite sure. So will wait until I know what I'm doing. (I'll be waiting an awlful long time):lol::lol:

Matilda

All I can do is shake my head!!:rolleyes:
We hear all sorts of strange things  coming from the UK.
They are starting to get stupid over here as well now.
'a bank robber on parole, robbed a bank & was given bail,while waiting for the court hearing' DUH!:rolleyes: go figure:rolleyes:Yet an inicent person can't defend their own property.
World gone mad.:(   matilda

Ok, can't believe this worked!!!
                                                                                      will make the photos smaller next time.
                                                                                      I edited them for"suitable for web"

                                                                                       Thankyou to all for your help!!!!
                                                                                       I was invaluble to get this up and running.
                                                                                       Still havent worked out the kinks yet.
                                                                                       The first bear , Colin is as you can see an aged bear

                                                                                        He was lucky enough to get a blue ribbon at the coastal doll & bear show. the last month. The other bear is Woodrow. He has a needle felted muzzle nose & toes.
He is being kept company by his new best friend, his trophy! Woodrow is 6.5 inch's. armature spine and arms.
It's also the first time  I needle sculpted. My next bear is better.
I've taken photos of the kitchen and the bear I'm working on now. they are already to load.  I will photograph and load a couple every couple of days.I have a lot of pic's to catch up on.
Play nicely kiddies,  :D:      Matilda.

I'll have to get a professional to set it up for me. The way it is at the moment I'll end up posting the entire file.
Thankyou for your help.    I'll just sit back and quietly screammm:lol::lol: bye for now...matilda

I know where my pics are and they are'nt here.
I cant do it. I have no idea how to get the addresswritten where its suppose to go. I keep getting told that it is'nt a valid address. Which is a load of rubbish. Will have to try and figure out another way. Also where they are hiding ,I'm unable to move them on. And the emails did'nt work.aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes::lol:  I have no idea when I'm going to have the time to try again. It's so time consuming!!!
At least they are edited and ready to download. If only I could find away to do it.:lol::lol:

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found them and lost them again . After I culled them, I was trying to find some way to reduce them. Kodak are really giving me the s***'s. I was just about to log off and give up. Will try one more time today.
                                                 AAAaaaaHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:Oh julia ,your a cheeky bugga:lol:I prefer mine in dairy milk chocolate. Mmmm yummmm!
Well, arent I the dill. There was nothing wrong with it at all. The port for the cord to go in was there all the time.
Thank goodness I gave it one more check before I made a fool of myself at the shops.
BUT....:(I spent from 7am to 12.30pm not only down loading the pics, but editing them. Was having quite a good time of it as well. UNTIL..I emailed my favorites to myself, as a test run, because I also want to send them to my sister. Well It didnt happen did it. NOW I cant find The photos. It looks like I will have to do it all again.!!!! AAaaaHhhhhhhh!!!:( Will I ever learn!!!!! All that work.Its so frustrating!!! I'm so tired!!. It was all because I was trying to get them in a spot to load them here. I was trying to find a way to make them smaller. My soft ware  wont tell me the dpi, and when I tried to get the address's of the photo's they disappeared on me.
There were 25 photo's. I thought I could ration them out over the week.  If I could get them suitable for posting. aaahhh!!!! Will give it another try. They have to be some where. I'll be off now.:rolleyes:
I hope Penny is alright. A shocker about her poor puss. Some people should be locked up.:(

Poor Amanda, it's hell is'nt it possum when you dont get recognition for your work.
HAMMY HAMSTERbelongs to AMANDA. I would'nt mind taking the credit. But he's not mine.
I would'nt mind having a go at a rooster .(in the needle felting) Not too sure I'm that clever though.:rolleyes:

WOW! he's adorable!! what patience you must have:D:cool:

Wonderful!!! Doesnt that fabric look great. I made a bear for my father in that fabric. I had forgotten. So thankyou for the reminder!:cool:

He's really lovely. Congratualtions. :cool:There's no turning back now, that you have had a taste of design freedom. I'm glad I drink cool aid. It makes pretty bear though. Not sure I could drink anything blue:lol:
