The Three Bears

The Three Bears
Saturday Self-Challenge: Homemade/Handmade Item(s)

My biggest challenge this week was deciding which of the many handmade items I would use for this photo. I finally settled on these three lovely teddy bears hand made by Mary George, a well known teddy bear artist. She is one of the few professional bear makers who crafts her items without help from anyone else.

When I actively collected teddy bears 20 years ago, I made several as presents and for my own pleasure. The photos in the comment section are of some of the bears I made during that time. The two bears in the second image wear sweaters handmade especially for them by my late mother.

Mariagrazia Gaggero, .t.a.o.n., Misou 49, Xata and 55 other people have particularly liked this photo

I had a few teddy bears when I was a kid. They were very important for me then and they are still cherished personal items on the cupboard, although they are not in really good shape anymore. I love your bears, too, Valfal. Great bear faces, funny and earnest...

Valfal club has replied to Ruebenkraut club
Thank you so very much, Henning! I am happy to hear that you still have your childhood teddies; they are such special reminders of your childhood! They may not be in the good shape they once were, but that only means they were very well loved! ;-)

Gott sei Dank ! Eine Teddybären-Künstlerin !
Ich dachte schon, Val, DU hättest die alle selbstgemacht - und bin in Ehrfurcht erstarrt.
Du hast schon öfter Objekte aus dieser einzigartigen Sammlung gezeigt. Erstaunlich ist, daß jedes dieser kleinen Kunstwerke einen eigenen Charakter hat, die Gesichter so voller Emotionen und Persönlichkeit.

You are very talented if you made these bears - they do look as if they've been created by another person. Well done

Valfal club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you so very much, Jenny! The bears in the main photo were made by bear artist Mary George, but the bears in the next two photos were made by me. Bear making was my most successful craft. I really need to get back into it again! :-))
