Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

My goodness!! So tiny!! with teeth!!!!
I love him!!

Hugs, Julia

Wow! Shelli, is that true?? goodness.. you just could clean your floor at the house.. that's less time consuming....  :crackup:

I just made my first distressed teddy, probably you saw him in the gallery.. I used coffee, oils, sandpaper, whish I used on backed black polymer clay first, so it became "dirty" and when I rubbed my bear it gave a slight grey effect..

Not much info from me ))) I would love to hear anything too!

hugs, Julia

Chrissie, I'd love to join too! I've sent you e-mail  :hug:

thank you Tina!

I will keep both of them as a reminder that I really did them and it wasn't a dream

Hugs, Julia

Thanks Wendy!

bBy the way, I'm going to order some glass eyes, you know what I mean? Do you need any?
She has now new eyes series very stylish! If you need any let me know!

hugs, Julia

Denise, Sarah, Grace and Vicki!! Thank you!!

I really like the result but I trully hate the process! 
Just not my size..

I'm working now on my larger bears. It's so good to sew ears! on a bear which is 13 inch tall instead of 2 inch

But sometime later maybe I will make more.. :D

Hugs, Julia

I made a smaller one. My first bear was Pin and Taya is my second one.
She is 2.4" tall and made of viscose.

Gosh! those ears were a nightmare......... 

here she is. What do you think??   

Danni, I think he is great!
And he has the look of your bears. Just a bit different because you use different fabric for him. But the rest is yours 

I loke him!!  :hug:
Hugs, Julia

Oh, thank you guys!

you know, I made another one even smaller than Pin. But I agree with you, jared, it's just not my size 
maybe I will make them once a wile but not as a beas for sale or so.. 

hugs, Julia  :hug:

I will post his ppicture tomorrow. It's late over here and my camera said good night to me..  low batteries..  :doh:

So, update tomorrow.. 
Hugs, Julia  :hug:

Sheila, Marion & Sarah Jane!! thanks!!

I read on this miniature forum that turning is 50% agony of this whole venture... Yeah.. I have to say for me it was all 70%!!

The rest is just fine. working with the head was the most fun part. couple stiches and your needle-sculpting is done!!  :crackup:

I admire all mniature bear artists. Such a jewerly work.

Hugs, Julia 

That was tough one...
Don't know how do you girls sew smaller ones but 3.2" is the smallest I could get.

Here is the bear. His name is Pin and he is made of viscose. has glass eyes with eyelids and whites.
I needle and scissirs scilpted his muzzle to make him to look like my normal big bears.

Not sure if I'm going to mae more than 1 but that was quite a challenge for me.
