Hi Sandra,

Rita at Woodland Teddies here in the UK makes fantastic hand painted and lidded glass eyes. I've ordered from her a few times and have always been really happy with them. Her realistic eyes are just out of this world!! Here's her link (lidded eyes are at the bottom right of the screen):

I've been playing about with different designs with my bears and I've decided I'd like to have a go at airbrushing but wondered if any of you wonderful TTers could give ma a little advice on what equipment to buy.

I'm not quite sure whether to go down the CO2 route or the compressor route. After reading previous posts about this topic I know that if I decide to go down the compressor route I need to look for a compressor with 28-40 PSI but is this all I need to look out for when choosing one (there's so many out there!!) and if I buy a kit is pretty much everything I need in the kit (unless you want to buy a better brush...which I probably will).

However, if I decide to go down the CO2 route what other equipment do I need to buy? I take it I need a hose but is there a special type of hose I need and I read in a previous post I need a pressure gauge but again is there a special type I need?

I would be very grateful for any help you could give me     

Thanks.

Janice

Oops....just realised I should have posted this on the tips and techniques section  :doh:  :doh:

I sew all mine by hand 

Making bears is my way of relaxing at night, I like nothing better than making myself comfy on the settee and getting my needle and thread out!! I've tried a couple of times to sew bears using the machine but I just don't find it as pleasurable. I also feel I have more control with hand sewing
