Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Here is my first liitle clown for the challenge  

I gave the photo a title..."What do you mean the high wire is much higher than this???"
I ended up using most of the bits in my fabric photo, except the yellow ribbon I think. I have just cut out  a more traditional design bear which is going to have a bear coloured head and blue and pink suit made from vintage long pile.
oh I forgot to say the little orange clown is about 3.5" tall including his hat, I have also put his photo in the challenge gallery.

Having not taken part in one of these challenges before, I am not sure of the procedure, do we wait until the deadline to post photos of the finished bear or as and when we finish them?

I was so inspired by the clown idea that I have finished my little clown already :bday:  and may just make another as well.
Thanks Paula for suggesting it

You said to post some photos of how we are getting on.............
well here are some of the fabrics and bits and pieces I have gathered together, I may use some, all or none of them   not sure yet.I like the cotton print, but I am rubbish at clothes, unless incorporated in the pattern, so I may not use it at all.
Right here goes, this may or not work, we shall see....
what colors is everybody else going for?

Hi Paula,
I have just joined the forum,and I would like to join in with this challenge too if thats ok.
It's just the sort of thing I need to get my bearmaking going again. I have made one or two clowns in the past and enjoyed it alot
Right, off to my fabric box now for some inspiration! I have all next week off work on holiday, so this will give me a welcome distraction from the housework( I hate housework  ).
