ACD Awards

It's only 3 weeks to ACD Awards deadline...

I just started to cut out my mohair pieces,
I don't know why I always like to do things at the last minutes?
Because I don't feel I can do it nicely if I finish it "early".

But this time I got to be quick, because we are going to move to our new home at 28th of March.
And the ACD Awards dealine is at 1st of April!
Time's ticking, I have to be hurry!

Our new home is a 2 bedrooms townhouse, it won't have my workroom like the currect house that we are living in.
So I have to find a spot that I can squeeze in to keep making my bears...

2009 Christmas Bear -- Joy Holly

I have finished this cute little bear just right before Christmas.

She should be the entrant of Teddys Bit's Mystery competition, but I didn't make it to the deadline...
Anyway, the compeition was about the teddy bear supplier shop sell a kit,
but it doesn't have pattern, only 3 different colour of short pile mohair -- brown, green & red.

We have to use these 3 colours of mohair to make a bear with X'mas theme.I designed the pattern, choose the eye size, joints and paw pads.And here she is, "Joy Holly".

She is about 20 cm height, has black glass eyes, 5 ways lock nut joint sets, wool stuffing with X'mas theme paw pads.As I want her to free stand, I used a lot of garnet powder in her both legs. She is wearing a green Tee with 2 big Christmas buttons, with silver tinsel ribbon around the arms. As well as a red skirt with gold tinsel ribbon.

Both of her ears also have bells in there, the bells will ring when you move her.

Oh! And she is also carrying a Christmas sock, and wow! She got a gift from Santa!

Happy Halloween

I know it's bit late to post this bear out, but I am really love him!
He is cutest bear that I have ever made!

He is also my first ever Halloween bear, he is about 38cm height without hat (50cm height includes hat).
As I want him can free stand, due to the huge wings. I add a lot of garnet powder in his both legs, so he is very heavy... about 1 kg!
He has huge black feather wings, black felt witch hat with pumkin Halloween decoration.
As Halloween in USA is about Autumn, so I gave him a scarf. Black & White scarf with ghost pieces around!



The cutest part is his fings! He is not looking scary without those fings! LOL
He is also carrying a pumkin candy basket, and he is ready for Trick or Treat!

Flower Fairy bear

I am really sorry that I haven't update my blog for LONG LONG.... time!!

I have gone back to my hometown, Tainan City, Taiwan on June.
We spent 5 weeks overthere, and I have bought my daughter Misha back home to see my parents.
My mum have seen Misha when she was born, but my dad didn't, so that was his first time to see his grand-daughter!
We really had a great time when my parents, and of course... a lot of shopping and eating! (LOL)

Then when we came back, I started REALLY busy to make bears for Who is Who in Bear making online bear show.
As well as this flower fairy bear for Spring Challenge on Teddy Bear and Critters -- Australiasia.

This flower fairy is very beautiful, she has velvet flowers decoration near her left ear, and a very special necklace to give her a nice touch!

When I took this Spring Challenge, I was thinking about a "tea bear" and a "cake bear", the "Morning tea in Spring morning" bear set.
But I wasn't have enough time to finish 2 bears, so I made this flower fairy instead.
I will still do that bear set in the future, because I love to do this idea for a very long time!

I am still very happy what I have done for this flower fairy bear,
as she is such a lovely girl! I am very prond what I achived for her! ^__^
