He is sooooooooooo cute!
Jessie, you know I would try but I don't know if it would turn out to be a bear at all... :crackup:
Well, like several of you have said, seems like I tweek or change my pattern every time I make a bear. Never the same way twice! I have settled on a 16" bear though...better than two feet!
Oh Jessie, There is a row of pictures and as more come up some are taken off. She was in the row and now is ready to be taken off. All you have to do is click on the picture and you get her thread.
Great job. I just love this bear. He does look somewhat realistic but still has that cuddly look too. What a great combination...
Yes, it's still here but she is on the end so she will be gone very soon...
Constance is just beautiful and her feet are perfect!
Oh no...she is going off the line of photos and I won't be able to come say hi to her anymore! Bye sweet Eloise!
Bonjour. Here I am again! I really love this bear...
Depends on the size of the bear but I always pin before stitching...hand or machine. And, I get stuck a lot!
I keep coming back to look at her...I really love her.
What a beauty she is!
Such a cute little petite!
I agree...it is the way the leg is stuffed....right handed people usually have a problem with the left leg. You have to be careful to turn the leg often when you are stuffing it...
Oh WOW!
I use beeswax on my noses and buff them with a nail buffer.
What a lovely kitty. I love her sweet look!
Me too!
I agree Dangerbears, it is so fun to look through all the new bears but when it comes to my hug...I love the classics! I am still wanting to own one of your bears...
I agree with you Heidibears...There are so many skills now that you have so many more avenues open to you. Some of the realistic bears look like they have just been stuffed by taxidermy. I just still like to see a "Teddy Bear" once in awhile and there are still some out there.
Dangerbears, to me a "Teddy Bear" is based on the proportions of a real bear but very cuddly and frendly I guess. The tiny, tiny bears amaze me but a teddy bear to me must first of all be cuddly. I see a child holding it and telling all her secrets to it. I may not be a child but in my distressed times I like to cuddle my bears too...I would like to have one tiny bear to carry in my pocket when I feel the need but I just cannot make anything that tiny...not that kind of talent or eyesight I guess...Ha!
I have notice that Teddy bears have evolved from "Teddy Bears" to cutesie little things. Is this because of the market or just the desire of the artist? It is hard to find quality "Teddy Bears" anymore... Has anyone else had this discovery?
Many prayers for you Janet...
I can't wait to see all the wonderful bears. Maybe next time I will be well enough to do a bear too!
