See, it's breath catching and beyond word description.
You bears are wonderful, but Sergei (by the way,he's got Russian name! :love:) is is a master-piece and very creative and talanted.
Just love him
Hugs, Julia
Julia, great job!!
Do you just insert the plasic eyes as you would for glass eyes??
Also, I'd like to see a picture of the whole bear!!!
Heather
Yep, Heather, just like glass eyes. Very easy..
wow...
thank you guys, but be honest I like glass ones better. :redface: Still, think that faux fur need plastic, mohair - glass eyes.
This bear will be Santa and I'll show him when I finish his dress. I "made" myself to make smiling bear! :D
It's holiday coming...

Just wanted to add some about plastic eyes I use.
I paint them, make eyelids and they look as great as glass eyes.
I buy them in Japan and their eyes have a loop so its easy to work with.http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfis … iceye.html
This is eyes of my latest faux fur bear with plastic eyes
Julia
Shelli, I'm so happy for you!! Your bears deserve to be there!!
:thumbsup:
Congratulations!!!
Hugs, Julia
Do I have to log off???
I never do it in my forums. Agree with Jane can-t wait to start reading... :dance:
Julia
Shantell, once I had the glue came out on an eyelid. I scratched but it become white. So painted it with the marker. But you have to be careful. if you do too much paint the shine of the oils or markers make your bear's eyes cry.
Julia.
I wonder what Shelli does... but I think she is just always PERFECTLY neat. :clap:
Oh, yes, 2nd one.
There is a saying in Russian I wrote somewhere in posts before
(close translation, maybe I should try computer translation, Jane don't you think??
)
Better be alone than live with jerk
Better be hungry then eat
:teddybear:
Julia
Jane, I'm absolutely with you!!

When I do translating (sometime :P) from English into Russian... boy, you should read that!!! Just the same thing.
Julia.
your bears are wonderful!!
Fran, the most important thing is when you finish your OOAK you'll be proud of him and of yourself!!! :dance:
Once you start designing your own bears you never come back to kits. :hug:
Good luck and have fun!

WOW! Shelli, good discusission1 I don't think is there anything to add I 've never actually thought on how to make mini...
I made few mini bears and found it great! Really! Sometimes, it take me a whole month to make teddy 12"!! But mini.. I made my last teddy Gosha just two evenings!! So great to see the results that soon.
Girls, thank you so much for posting "articles" on mini making. So interesting to read and educate myself. :clap:
