Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Hi everybody,

I felt like doing a needle felted piece again, inspired by some of the most wonderful pieces shown in this forum and I would like to introduce you to "Ginger", approx. 4 inches tall.

    This picture is just too cute! Thank you for posting it.

Thank you again, Sarah and also thank you Judi, Michelle and Jane.

Getting a compliment from some of the best artists means a lot to me.

Huggies,

Judi, baby Joey is adorable     . He makes you want to take him in your arms and cuddle him.

Hugs,
Marion

Hi Sarah,

thank you for the nice comment on my Liesel.

Yes, the bear is entirely crocheted, not a single  part is mohair or any kind of other fabric. Face, paw pads, everything is crocheted. All I have when I start is a crochet hook and several different threads which I like to combine to achieve an interesting look of the "fur".

I don't ever use a pattern and work "as I go". I see how the threads that I am combining "turn out" and during my work I give the bear the shape by adding or combining/decreasing stitches.

I also like to dress my bears as they are mostly babies and toddlers. In general all their clothing is designed and made by me for each bear individually.

Huggies,
Marion

Mikki, this is an incredible piece of art. You are very talented and I think I said in in another post: I love      your work.

Hugs,
Marion

Hi everybody,

let me introduce you to another bearkidz-baby: Liesel.

Liesel is one-of-a-kind, 15" tall, and completely crocheted from diffeent threads/yarns.

I designed and crocheted her outfit exclusively for her.

Hope you like her,

Marion

What a cute little hedgehog! He does not look prickly but so cuddly! I love your work.

Very cute character, I love that he is so different    

Danelle is so realistic, a real piece of art.    

Boris does not just make a cute Halloween bear, he looks like a very cute "all year round bear" too.

I love the colors and his facial expression.

This little guy makes me smile. He looks so friendly and  I love the idea with the bird.

Very cute bears. I love the idea of the "flower noses" on the white ones.

Have a successful show in Moscow!

Hi Magda,
Mr. Cider is very cute.  I love his facial expression.
He does not seem to mind a little chill in the air wearing his warm coat.

Hugs,
Marion

Hi everybody,

I wanted to introduce you to Toby. This little boy stands 10,5 inches tall and is one-of-a-kind.

He is completely crocheted from a blend of different fibers.

He wants to say "hi" to you.

Hugs,
Marion

You did a fabulous job. I love all of your creations.

You created a very lovely bear.  The way you adapted the clothing is perfect and gives him a lot of character.
I also love the wavy mohair you have used.

Hugs,
Marion
