Congratulations to you and of course to Jambi..

How truly exciting!!!

Congratulations to you and of course your bear.

Here is Yumee..
My first polar bear.. and not my last.
He ventured out for the ACE awards earlier this year and then he just became a finialist in the URSA awards and I entered him in for the British Bear Awards as well.  The whole experience is mind boggling and has sent my brain in a frenzy as to what to create next!!!!

Congratulations to a job well done!!!!!

Jodi,

That's really funny!!  I was just thinking the same thing.  I haven't got my latest issue yet either!!!

I totally agree.  My daughter and I scrolled through all the artists creations and can away beaming and of course

voted for our favorites

Good luck to you all...

Congratulations to you all!!!!!

I'm glad I was'nt the ony one noticing the supplies dwindling down in Joann's and Walmart.

I am fortunate for the moment of a mill around the corner from me who has had plush in different colors.  I guess I

should stock up on more just incase, it becomes more difficult to find any!!

What a wonderful story.. I will keep my fingers crossed too!!

I usually don't pick out the name.

My daughter places the bear at the bottom of her bead and ponders at it or moves it around the house until the right name comes to her.

And this may simple be the head when it's not even attached to the body yet..

I usually put them in the category of up to 5 inches for miniatures
and micro mini's up to 2 inches.
The smallest I have ever made is 1 and 1/2... and that's small enough for me.

Hello,
You may also want to add a touch of super glue to the screw as it does have a habit of loosening up.

That was my husbands tip for the "day"!!

  I would like to "blog" too...

I think you are right when you say bear collectors and artists can tell a bear artist by the way their bears have a distinct style.  My daughter can spot them in magazines and she doen't even go on forums.

I personally  get terribly bored making the same pattern.  I could'nt bring myself to do it.  I like a challenge, it's like giving birth to a new one...and wondering if it will be a boy or a girl.... The good thing it's not as "painful"!!  

I've had too many pieces end up in the vacuum cleaner and seeing I'm very allefgic to dist mites, I don't retrieve them.  I do a lot of shaking outside when it's warmer and vacuum the area afterwards.  But I get out my nifty little grooming brush and make them all pretty when complete and  again when they're off to their new parents.

Sounds really silly  to me too... How silly, my poor polar bear is going to be "wiggling" all around to get the right measurements.  But needless to say.. I will do it right.

I just measured him ....O'h dear in that case it would make him 21 inches long...  My average bears only measure 9 1/2 inches tall.  That would make him over double...  Good job he's not a real one... Grr!!!

Quick question..

"What is the corect way to  measure a bear that stands on all fours"

I.e. Polar bear

Thank you
