Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Absolutely amazing that you can make bears so small.   :clap:

Oh he is sooooo cute.  I can't believe he is so small.

Jody, your bear is stunning.  I love the footpads too !  He'll sell for sure, your work is amazing. 

What a sweet bear Takeko.  Great idea adding the Japanese fabric ! :dance:

Edward is fabulous Daphne.  Yes , he does look like one of your bears.  Can't wait for the auctions to begin !

Wonderful charity bear Marie.  The scarf and butterfly are a nice addition.  Don't worry ...it will sell for sure ! :clap:

What a terrific bear Laura Lynn.  He does have you look.  He'll do awesome ! I named my charity bear William also !

WOW, such tiny , wonderful creations  :clap:

Jenny, Annabelle is absolutely gorgeous.  I LOVE the faces on your bears.  So sweet, and her eyes look perfect too !
I'm sure she will sell fast ! 

Hi Kim,
I used to do custom orders and might be willing to take this on.  You can certainly pass my name along and my website ( there is a memory bear page) .  They can contact me with details if they are  interesed- I'm in Canada.  I generally do custom orders in the 12-18" range.   My little bears are made for collectors only. 

Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments.  You gals really do know how to make a person feel good !

I hope William does do well as I think it is a great cause.  My neighbour's 14yr. old daughter was diognosed with thyroid cancer this Sprng, so I am delighted to be a part of this Children's Cancer  fund raiser.   I'm amazed too at how each bear is looking so different ! :)

Pipa, the nose is made from Fimo clay.  Not waxed.

Julia, you are right, it is mink fur.

This is just so funny.  I am just laughing at the computer screen ( good thing no one else is home !) 

Foo Foo !!  What a riot.  Stubble...can't stand it.  Waxing .....did that once and bruised my shins from overdoing it , pulling and pulling to get every last hair OUCH !!  I guess it's shaving for me too, no choice it looks like fur !

Helena your pair is so adorable.  Your pictures look just fine to me too !   I can relate to giving your daughter the little bear.  That has happened to a few of mine also.  How can you say no !

I managed to get a bear done in time for the Teddies 4 Charity

Meet William , made from recycled mink.  I reduced Nancy's pattern by 50% so he measures in at just a tad over 8".   He was so much fun to make for such a great cause !

(I was hoping to make a girl named Charity or Faith, but he just insisted on being a boy   )

Eileen you did a super job.  I think these are the first of your bears that I have ever seen ???  Very impressive and such a cute pair.  I'm sure they will raise lots of $

That is too funny Shelli !  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jane, it really is nice to have you back.  You are such a ray of sunshine !  Sounds like you've had a really rough time, but hopefully you are on the mend.  Take care !

What incredible craftsmanship and detail Carrie.  They are truly outstanding and so creative.  WOW !

Oh Danni, I'm sorry to hear about your dilema.  I can see why you are so upset.  Too bad Ebay couldn't give a bit of notice so you can change the unintentional error without pulling it off completely.  Don't give up , list it again and maybe put a gentle little note about it being cancelled so those bidders return without being angry at you.  It is frustration when you see other auctions that get away with things.     

I have to agree with Sarah that # of watchers doesn't always mean anything.  My highest selling bear had the least watchers.  One that had had 18 watchers got zero bids.   I think I liked it better before that feature was available. 

Keep your chin up ! Your bears are precious !

Gee Thanks Marie,  I love you too. (Sorry I couldn't resist !) 

Danni, I think this pink bear is outstanding.  As soon as I looked at her I said to my little girl " I want her !"".  What a lovely color.  I can see why your customer is happy.   She does have a cute tummy too.

Shelli, take care and know that we are thinking about you.  I hope all goes well with your Mom too. 

Heather, he is simply adorable.  You should be very proud.  What a great first pattern and on such a tiny bear.   He does look very tasty in that blueberry fur of his.  Great dye job.......do you do human hair too......I could use a change of color 

p.s.  so did it actually snow there this week ? Watching the weather channel it looked rather cold out west !!!!!

He's a super gorgeous bear Amanda.  How generous of you to help on such short notice.   

Shantell, my heart and prayers go out to your son , Brianna's family and the driver.  Such a sad, sad tragedy !

Shari you make such awesome open mouth bears.  Your friend will be thrilled !
