First place in a Russian contest

I have to share a news arrived yesteday.  I followed an online class with Helena Yukhanova in December 2014.  We submitted our picture and after that she organised a contest.
I followed the class more for learning a new technique and honestly, she changed my way and my life in bear making even in thread teddy bears.
As I 'm preparing bears for 3 shows, I  decided to put Raina, the preview bear for the Winter Stars online show, as the contest participant, and she won.

Upcoming Online Show

I'm very pleased to present

"Fluff", a One of a Kind teddy Bear Girl, I created for my Show preview bear for the

2014 March Madness Online Show

I would like to introduce you to "Fluff", my preview bear for the show, decorated this time.

She is a 8.7" (22 cm) teddy bear girl. One of a Kind.

I created her from super dense beige faux fur imported from Germany.

Thanks a lot for all of you who voted for Jareth, my preview Teddy bear.

And....a new Teddy Bear Girl, Odelia

I spent 6 weeks to complete Odelia.
I had a design in my mind and until I did not reach what I wanted, I redesign body and the other teddy bear parts.
A long long process, but now, I think that she is beautiful.
Here a few pictures of her

    

News about 2 teddy bears lost in the mail

Two days before the Canadian Posts strike, I shipped two little ones ; imagine how I was worry for them ; the first one was for United Kingdom

And the second one to France :

Both arrived these Tuesday and Wednesday after a three weeks travel ; their new moms have been very patient and I had to thank them for that.

They understood the situation.

Thank You Bears Moms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
