Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Love the bear and the necklace!!!!

to cute    

Oh!  Sooooo Sweet and cute!

I have a question can 3 to 5 inch bears be made from real fur coats?

Wow.  So adorable.

Most people are amazed that I can make something so small by hand. Some love them, some don't. Some say how can I have the patients to spend so much time on these little bears. Some say I am talented.  My daughter says I will never grow up. I asked ,if she would have me any other way. She said, No Way. She loves my bears. She is 42 years old and a school teacher in Indiana. She has some of my bears in her class room and the kids thinks that is great. I have a lot of sisters and my husband, all enchouraging me to make all kinds of bears.

When I got a write up in the local newspaper the county judge sent me a copy of the article and wrote; Congratulations for being feasured as "Wednesday's Woman" by The News-Enterprise!  This delightful articlae for all creative people throughtout the county. We wish you continued success with your hobby.

Things like this encourages us to do the thing we love best. MAKE BEARS. 
I have made him a judge bear and plan to take it to him in person tommorrow.

Sorry I got carried away!

I love this little racoon. soo cute.  :clap:  :clap:

We had a couple of real racoon that we raised on bottles and got them shots like you do dogs. When they were big enough our friends kept them on his farm and his family would feed them. They were quite tame till they fell in love and had little ones ,then were pertective of the babies.  I had a sister that had a skunk , they had the sense sack removed. She raisedit on a bottle.  She said it used the litter box just like her cat.  My husband's mother raised a squirrel on a bottle and it ran and played with the kids.  All animals can be agressive at times just like regular tamed animals. People must be wary what with rabies and al,l out there.

Too Cute.

Thanks everyone. It is encouraging and makes me harder to do different and many more bears.

What a cute dragon. I haven't got that tallented yet. Love your work.

It was more than I expected. My daughter made me buy 10 copies of the paper to give to family and friends who are not close by. She even took a copy to her school. She has a teacher bear with a class room of bears in her class I made her. So she wanted them to see her mommy was in the paper. lol

Here is the site for our local newspaper. I was surprised they wanted me in the paper. To get to know a little about me and my bear making please feel free to go to this site and read about me and my hobby of bear making. Thanks

So adoreable. Sweet as honey.

IT is just too cute. I haven't tried the head jointed yet. I have a book called How to make enchanting miniture teddy bears by Debbie . I think I will try the no-no bear she has it this book. It has a tail and you can make the little bear so no but not yes.  I just love the face and color shading of your bear!

Does he have a web site or a book? I would like to see it.

Check out this http://www.teddy-talk.com/viewtopic.php?id=44059  hers is 6 way jointed she says. Maybe she know where you can find what you need.

Oh so pretty. Lovely. Does it have a way make it's head move to say no or yes?

I bought a book titled how to make enchanting miniture teddy bears by debbie kesling. It has a no-no bear in it .
The bear has a tail and when you move the tail it moved the head  from right to left. Haven't seen one that says yes yet. Hope this helps.

They are wonderful. Lovely work. :clap:
