Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

He's lovely! A new style, but still recognizable as your style! I like the mohair choice, he has a wonderful smile .....and also great pictures!    

Peter, same problem here. I also have a Facebook page and never really used it until last week after reading this thread. I'm afraid I haven't really understood how it works. I use my personal Facebook page, and know well how it works, but I'm not sure the 'business' facebook page is to be used in the same way. What I mean is: I would like it to be for people that have an interest as collectors or other artists. I don't want to bother all my friends that really have no interest in the bear world. So, I wonder, how should I gain new likes from this world?
I gather from your post that you can post the link to the facebook page here. I will try it now....other suggestions from the experts?
Thanks!!!!!    

The link to my Facebook page, in case any of you feel compassionate enough to like it...:

...I hope I did it right! 

What a sweetie!  

Thank you dear Pink!  

Thank you ladies, your praise makes me happy!    

They are all so sweet! And the detailing is really exquisite!

My new maltese-like puppy!

For more info or pictures, my new puppy Fritz is available for adoption on Bearpile:

This is my new puppy Fritz! I'm having great fun taking pictures of him!
I hope you like him as I do!

Beautiful!    

They are all fab! I especially like Sophie and Dillon!  

Really handsome!  

He's beautiful Jenny. You really make such sweet and expressive puppies!    

How cute! You did a fantastic job with these three new ones!

This Thread is very interesting indeed. Thank you ladies for your input!
I have also tried Etsy, I actually still have an Etsy shop, but it has never really worked very well for me in terms of sales. It is sad as I think it is a very well done site, I love the statistics page that is so detailed...
I thought that my failure to sell well on Etsy compared to other places was my problem alone, but I think Katy's analysis could have a lot of truth in it.
As for Bearpile, I have had a positive experience up to now. Yes, so many businesses out there all competing for the front page can be overwhelming, but it is fair in its standards, and I have gained new customers through it. Another thing I like of Bearpile is that you can put your creations for adoption there, but at the same time you can try selling them somewhere else.
I couldn't put my creations for adoption on e-bay and on Etsy at the same time, but I can put them on e-bay and on Bearpile. If somebody contacts me on bearpile and wants to buy a creation that is at that time on e-bay I can direct them there.
As for e-bay, I think it is worth a try, as you still have exposure. Their fees are too high, I agree. I think choosing e-bay can be good if you are not a renown artist, and wish to have your name and work seen. For artists like Jenny that are already so well liked and loved, I understand that it can be different.
As for the Facebook page...I'm just now trying to regain my strength after some busy hours restyling my blog. I have a Facebook page that I never really knew how to use. Maybe my next technology challenge should be in that direction....thank you Jenny for your insight, I love your Facebook page by the way!
Yes, you can 'lose' some time on your PC following all these suggestions. I don't think it is really time lost though, as I enjoy it a great deal!

Wonderful job!  

Thank you Denise!  

Thank you Karen and Boop! I'm having real fun with the blog.
My workspace looks clean because I cleaned it before doing the pictures....   It can be really really messy when I'm in the middle of a project!

What a wonderful puppy!   

Thank you girls!

Thanks for looking!

I always find very interesting to read about work in progress and to see pictures of it. We have all developed our own way to develop a project...the 'behind the scenes' is always fascinating!
I have been updating and restyling my blog lately. I also often post pictures of my work in progress, and I have added several sections, one with pictures of my workspace. It has been hard work....but I enjoyed it very much!

Love him!

I love him! Very expressive and original!

Thank you for the pictures! I wish I had been there!

How cute he is! Well done with the inset muzzle, he has a lovely sweet face!
