I was so glad to get rid of that bear.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SqenF2pC3NU/TbrqdSyc3SI/AAAAAAAAA7c/k8BaWjbYffM/s1600/MinkBear2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SqenF2pC3NU/TbrqdSyc3SI/AAAAAAAAA7c/k8BaWjbYffM/s320/MinkBear2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've already told you that taking the coat apart was a messy job and seemed to take forever. Fur was flying everywhere and making me and the pups sneeze...definitely an outside job.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I was so afraid of making mistakes so it took longer to make. It was my first real fur bear, it wasn't my mink, and I was so afraid of ruining the fur. Real fur must be lined so cutting a cotton version of the pattern is necessary. The cotton lining provided support for the very fragile pelts.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Nancy Tillberg was encouraging and nudging me along. She finally told me to stop worrying about making mistakes and get over my fear of working with fur. I was mostly worried about sculpting the fur on the snout. I have only ever scissor sculpted but this time I brought out the electric clippers, closed my eyes and sculpted. It actually turned out pretty good and I was quite pleased that it was smooth, even and no cut lines were visible.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Would I do it again...yes, absolutely. While visiting the Central San Joaquin Valley over Easter I picked up a couple of jackets, one rabbit and one mink, from a high school friend. The next one will be easier I am sure.</span>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-14554119002091557552011-03-14T09:33:00.000-07:002011-03-14T09:33:12.908-07:00Bear Artists Online<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://http.//bearartistsonline.com">Bear Artists Online</a>, formerly known as Teddy Bears and Critters Australia, may be reached by clicking on the BAO graphic in the right column.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is Joseph's birthday; he turns 28 years old. He is now in his second year of a doctoral program at the University of Maryland. I'm very proud of him all of the time...but sometimes, I wish I had this little boy to hold one more time.</span>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-4439902253300255682011-02-22T12:42:00.000-08:002011-02-22T12:42:08.496-08:00Recycled Fur<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've never made a bear out of real fur; I've always wanted to, but never took up the challenge. I was asked to make bears by my niece from a full-length muskrat coat that belonged to her deceased mother. As I understand it, the five children in the family grew up playing in mom's coat. A couple of weeks ago I got another call from a local lady wanting bears out of a full-length mink. Two real fur coats...I immediately</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> signed up for the Heirloom Bear online class at <a href="http://www.kranbearys.com/Ebearz/index.htm">EbearZ University</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The first step is to take the coats apart and check for tears or bald spots. This is a messy, messy job that must be done outside. As I started taking the mink apart I found lots of little yellow pieces that looked like sawdust. Did you know that real fur professionally cleaned is tumbled in large drums of sawdust? I didn't, not until I checked with <a href="http://www.kranbearys.com/">Nancy Tillberg</a>. Take a look at her website to see some of the beautiful bears she makes, many of them from recycled fur.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">After I calmed down about the sawdust, it took me two days to take the mink apart. It will probably take longer for the muskrat since it has an underlining as well. Both coats saw a lot of use and were in worse shape than they appeared as whole coats. Today I'm working on a pattern. I'm a little scared to start cutting into someone's special coat, but I'm on it and will let you know how I do.</span>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-71966591409083547962011-02-18T11:16:00.000-08:002011-02-18T11:17:02.445-08:00New Bears Available<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Class was taught by Nancy Tillberg of Kran-Bearys. You can read all about it at <a href="http://www.kranbearys.blogspot.com/">EbearZU blog</a>. I've been making bears for several years but Nancy has some really great methods and techniques and I learned much easier ways to do some things. I especially enjoyed the videos provided with the written lesson.<br />

If you haven't been by <a href="http://www.kranbearys.com/Ebearz/index.htm">EbearZUniversity</a> in a while, stop by and take a look. She's added many new classes and some new teachers, too. <br />

I've recently completed two bears and have two more cut out waiting to be put together. I have signed on for the Be My Valentine online show on February 12, 2011.

Visit Sandi's tutorial to see how to turn this cut-out into a cute little Gingerbread Man.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">A comment left by Dawn of <a href="http://cottagestateofmind.blogspot.com/2009/05/playing-in-attic.html">Cottage State of Mind</a> caught my eye. She promised <div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hLvBmXztHf8/Sp_W4f_0_TI/AAAAAAAAA1s/N2oCY4keL1I/s1600-h/Cottage+State+of+Mind"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 215px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 151px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377252746253892914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hLvBmXztHf8/Sp_W4f_0_TI/AAAAAAAAA1s/N2oCY4keL1I/s200/Cottage+State+of+Mind" /></a></div>photos of the treasures in her attic. Who can resist a chance to take a peek into another person's treasures? Certainly, not me. If you love collecting things "just because," then take a look at Dawn's post, Playing in the Attic.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">But that's not the best part. Reading Dawn's profile, I found she grew up in the Central San Joaquin Valley of California. So did I! Well, it's a big Valley, so finding someone who grew up there isn't such a big deal. But this is: the internet connects me with Sandi in Australia, and Sandi connects me with someone from my own back yard. I love the friendships I've found through blogs and bears and the creative spirit. Amazing!</span><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hLvBmXztHf8/Sp_W4f_0_TI/AAAAAAAAA1s/N2oCY4keL1I/s1600-h/Cottage+State+of+Mind"></a></div></div>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-26737077943766702292009-08-26T11:33:00.000-07:002009-08-26T11:46:33.537-07:00Bloom Where You're Planted<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hLvBmXztHf8/SpWCwds4_4I/AAAAAAAAA1k/VzgyU5r2fj4/s1600-h/Spring+Challenge0809_2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 343px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374345499454799746" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hLvBmXztHf8/SpWCwds4_4I/AAAAAAAAA1k/VzgyU5r2fj4/s400/Spring+Challenge0809_2.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here she is, my </span><a href="http://www.teddybearsandcritters.com/springchallenge.htm"><span style="font-size:130%;">Spring is Sprung Challenge </span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">bear...and I'm two days under the deadline!</span></span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">She is made from 1.8" dense Shulte mohair and she's 15" tall.

Everyone was up early today, by 3:30 am, so Allyn could get him to the airport in time to make his 6 am flight. He'll be at UMD for the next five years working toward a Ph.D. in Sociology.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">I got a call from him just minutes before 1 pm letting me know his flight landed safely, he was heading to baggage, and he would be taking a long nap once he reached his hotel. His apartment will be available tomorrow, but when his furniture will arrive is anybody's guess.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">He had an hour lay-over in Denver and said his flight out was delayed, but they arrived on schedule. Now, Joseph has a history of not quite telling the whole story...Morocco comes to mind, but that's a story for another day. Shortly after I talked with him, Allyn called to say he'd talked with him as well. Joseph sent a text message to Allyn telling him about a security breach in Denver as they were boarding. That's why the plane was delayed. They were shuffled here and there until the breach was addressed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">Okay, so it's probably a good thing I didn't know about it as it was happening, but it makes me wonder about other things he "isn't telling so Mom won't worry." This is the first day of my next five-year-worry plan</span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">I think I'll go find some cute baby pictures...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-42624574429739356652009-08-04T08:51:00.000-07:002009-08-04T09:37:29.100-07:00I'm Back!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">At least I hope I'm back. It's been a busy summer and, yet, I can't say that I've really accomplished a whole lot. Spent time with the kids together and separately; visited Ashley and her new home; saw friends and my sister in Fresno; and now we're getting ready to send Joseph off to school...for the third time.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I wish I had the organization and discipline of my good friend, Sandi Smith. Don't know how she does it but she manages to keep up with, not only her website, </span><a href="http://www.bearlysaneteddies.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Bearly Sane</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">, but also with two blogs: </span><a href="http://bearlysaneaust.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Blog of a Bear Nut</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> and </span><a href="http://fantasyandfancy.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Fantasy and Fancy</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">, the </span><a href="http://www.teddybearsandcritters.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">TBACA</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> site, organizing and creating the wonderful venues of several online shows each year...and she still manages to find time make bears. My mid-year resolution is to be more like Sandi in productivity and discipline. Unfortunately, I cannot duplicate her creativity and imagination.</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span>Marlys Wagglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758204311496577585noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610341473666339293.post-58410385255595628372009-07-13T08:08:00.000-07:002009-07-13T08:20:09.107-07:00Fantasy & Fancy<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Just want to tell you about a new blog by my friend Sandi Smith, <a href="http://fantasyandfancy.blogspot.com/2009/07/child-within_13.html#comment-form">Fantasy & Fancy</a>. She hasn't yet told us what she has planned for this blog, but I know it will be something wonderful. Her first post, <em>The Child Within</em>, reminds us of the dreams and imagination of our childhood...something many of us tend to forget as we get older and busier. I will nurture my child within.
