New eBay auction---Luna, my first FaeryBeary Baby Mothling!



I really like the color combination of green and purple, so even though she wound up NOT being a Luna moth, I still am quite pleased with how she turned out. And she's teensy! Two inches tiny.

Two teddy auctions up right now, one on eBay and one on Bid4Bears---you can see either by clicking on the photos, or the links to the left of this column.



Luna is a FaeryBeary Baby whose wings are currently drying. I really like the color combinations of the leaf green and purple.

And Lucy, a Teddy Tot...I'm having a lot of fun with the little cub size lately. She has a pacifier that attaches [magically] to her mouth..that was a fun concept. Lucy does have the option to put some wings on her, so I may add some pretty pink butterfly wings, not sure yet. Am still finishing up that big order of five bears, hope to have them done by Friday.

Lucy's auction: [link]3907.m29

On a personal note, although I thought things had reached an ending, apparently they haven't quite. So here's to persevering!

3907.m29"

And I have another auction up on Bid4Bears, a FaeryBeary named Midnight!



And, I think it's been entirely too long since I gave away a bear, so I have one tidbit of information and a tease photo---surprise giveaway on my blog for next week---think monarch butterfly...hmmm!!!

Finally got a FaeryBeary finished---I forget how much more time intensive it is matching colors and picking out wings, etc. I think wee Fiona wound out pretty cute, even if I did cut her out with the intentions of making her into a sugar plum faerie for Christmas! Oh well, three months isn't so long...

You can see Fiona's auction on Bid4Bears here:

My auction is for a teensy miniature classic ted all of 2¼ inches big, the first in a new series of "Teddy Tots" for me. I've attached a photo, and you can visit Toby's auction here:

I will be listing a bear a week throughout this promotion, which runs from March 9th to May 10th, and I am hoping to get more than one bear up there a week---I have a sweet lil' pink-nosed brown bear in the works for listing on Tuesday night, if all goes well! I will also be posting updates on my blog.

Thanks for your interest and support, I appreciate it very much!

So, hopefully I will get some sales this week, AND get my other bears up and on eBay next week...I still have Twitter Mossling, Princess Blue, Pinkerton Pingie, and a sugarplum FaeryBeary to finish...am working on incorporating the costuming and crowns that I learned about in the seminar with Deb Wood earlier this month in Indianapolis into my teddies.

Thanks for peeking at my stuff!

So, uhm, yep---haven't been around much at all. Family issues. Ugh. Anyways, that rather puts the dampner on creative muses---at least for me anyways.

So, this is a fun piece I did to just goof around with. I've got about ten other teddy bears in various stages of completion that are getting done...sort of. I should have more fun stuff to look at in the upcoming weeks, in spite of this being the SLOWEST and HARDEST time to sell on eBay right now...and before the holidays. Ack! Wish me luck!

Meanwhile, I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for the rest of you, but there is going to be a felt fribble runner-up prize, so expect an eventual email from me requesting your address---am thinking of little teddies similar to the teensy brown bear in this photo:



Thanks to everyone who participated! This was so much fun I'm thinking of making it a monthly drawing---I have a yellow bear similar to Sprout almost ready to go!!

..free fribbles monthly drawing starting in May! ]]> ~depthperception http://depthperception.deviantart.com/journal/12838692/ http://depthperception.deviantart.com/journal/12838692/ Fri, 04 May 2007 10:37:44 PDT
---okay, am not entirely certain but for some reason I've seen other people celebrating their 1000 pageviews, so I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon. I am going to have some free time this weekend and intend to bust out a darling wee fribble creation for giveaway on here and on my blog.

Blog location: [link]

So, comment either here or on any of my blog posts, [entering only twice, once on DA and once on the blog] and I will put all the names of everyone into a hat, drawing from the hat on ..hrm.. May 15th ['cause I like middles of the months]. I will get a photo up hopefully by Monday of what the winner will receive, and of course since fribbles dislike travelling alone there will be surprises in the package!

Best of luck to all of you!

Just received notifcation that one of my bears was featured in the Plushology newletter/article thingamagummy...I'm not sure entirely what that means, but here's a link:

[link]

Have gotten some synthetic faux fur from England last week, and am hard at work on my VERY FIRST big bear...which should wind up being somewheres over 6". Hey, when the majority of your work is 3" or smaller, 6" is HUGE!!!

I will keep you posted, the head is turning out super cute so far---husband said it looks like a baby seal [oh well, it's supposed to be a rabbit is all..], but baby seals are SUPER CUTE, so am hoping it lives up to the potential without me buggering it up!

..life is good, oh-so-good, I love life and Dan and Ian and my mom and dad and brothers and my in-laws and kitties and my wonderful friends, both IRL and online! ]]> ~depthperception http://depthperception.deviantart.com/journal/12268877/ http://depthperception.deviantart.com/journal/12268877/ Wed, 21 Mar 2007 08:44:00 PDT
Well, I have been up to heaps of stuff, but none of them has resulted in a finished product. Am getting the Australian commission done, and working on the new anime series---complete with EYELASHES on bears that're only 2 inches big! Also am experimenting with the colored iris glass eyes for minis, and teensy tiny removable wings for the smaller sized faerybearies..trying new things all the time.

Plus, am getting bits of jewelry done here and there---and getting ready for a big marketing push in April on the www.bid4bears Bid4Bears site, a lot of bear artists will be listing in the hopes of helping collectors to the site, which is lots cheaper than eBay. [eBay is the devil! I still love it though]

Big news, I did have my work published in the March/April issue of Teddy Bear and Friends in the Facebook section---out of pages of artists, they chose to highlight one of my bears! I am of course thrilled, had to call my mother, librarian friend, mother-in-law, neighbors, etc.---and am hoping to join the online zine of Bears and Buds in April to enter the URSA awards, which are People's Choice awards for artist bears---you put your bears up with everyone else's and people vote for the ones they like best!

Am working on a teddy bear scene and a couple special bears for that.

So, no auctions for awhile still---summer's coming up and my mother-in-law [who makes the most gorgeous gem trees, you can see 'em here: [link] ] is going to be attending lots of art fairs, so I am going to be putting my bears in with her trees and the neighbor lady's jewelry [seen here: [link] ], and hopefully we'll all get rich...or at least get more money for supplies!! [creating is something of an addiction, after all]

This is little Billy [after Billy the Kid] and his fribble palomino, Buckaroo! Made with vintage short-pile upholstery fabric, he is all of two inches big, and is fully posable with a cotter-pin jointed head & string-jointed limbs.



He is currently on eBay for the low starting price of 99¢, auction running until Sunday night. He'll be joined on eBay Tuesday night by his sister Becky and her cow Betsy, so check back!

..I don't know PHP or anything, was trying to use WordPress but discovered it might be beyond me...I'm best at editing HTML 'cause I don't really know anything, but anyways. Perhaps someday I'll be able to go to school for web/graphic design...

Am also working on getting my etsy store up this week...have a collection of German artist bears I've outgrown, so am going to offload 'em there, hopefully, along with some jewelry.

Not really in a happy mood today, more like hitting one of those downers. Anyways. Husband stuff, not so much fun. [mental shrug]

So, am keeping my chin up, thoughts optimistic even though am very uncertain, and thinking hard about Desiderata and everything working out as it's meant to be, even if we don't know how it's supposed to be, and especially if it's not how we want it to go but regardless of the pain or the price, that it will work itself out.

It must.

*EDIT* And things are working out better. See? There's the power of thinking positive for you!

Click the photo below to get to the auction:



At any rate, this little girl seemed sorta lonely, so she got a cute felt fribble doggy to go with her. I love the white flower and the little toile skirt about her middle

Was in a bit of a hurry to get her up as my husband wanted to use his computer promptly at seven last night, and my computer, after being fixed, is still dismantled plus I can't get into my studio as it's a mess. Must get organized!!

I'm getting repeat bidders---which justifies the low starting price. Plus, on these dinky wee bears, I don't have to sew as much as a big 3" bear.

Best,

Amelia

Well, have begun my newest series, kind of a cross between anime [in size and body shape] and my usual whatever-it-is teddy bear style. Introducing Binko!



Binko's starting on eBay with a low bidding price of $4.99---mostly 'cause it's a new pattern that doesn't have all the kinks ironed out. He's got a bit of an offset head [covered up by the non-removable neck ruffle], and his nose is a bit off kilter, but he's super cute anyways! He also comes with his own stylish carrying case in the form of a matching patterned bag to his hat.

Hurrah! More fribbles---including some of my clay ones---uploaded! Am finally getting the hang of submitting these things. I think I was trying to upload when things were switching over from the old to the new system, it was taking me 15 minutes to choose categories and I'm on high-speed DSL! Anyways, am busily adding more of my creations to my gallery, and checking out lots of other artists here in DA!

---ish, that's wayyyyy too many exclamation points..!!
