Here is the newest bear I have done. I will be listing him on Ebay tomorrow. He would be 10 inches tall if standing. He has a wacky tie complete with tie tack. He is jointed. His paw pads and inside of his ears are done in velvet the rest in cotton fabric. What do you think?

Awwwww! Sydney is very cute! You are very talented! He is very different from most bears ... very unique. Congratulations on completing it. Did you sell your first bear on e-bay? Have you heard of Etsy? It is a site like e-bay that crafters use to sell their handmade items. Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com They don't charge as much as e-bay and you set up your own web store! Good-Luck!

Thanks. Yes Rufus sold this morning! Sydney will get his shot in the morning when I list him. I want to get some good natural lighting pics outside and the sun is not right at this time.

I visited your store on etsy ... very nice ceramic items! I love to do ceramics too! I love the picture of your wiener dog "Cookie" ... I had one years ago named "Oscar" ... she's cute!


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

thanks. I love doing ceramics. I am loving these bears too. Yes Corkie is quite the ham and he is very handsome.

That's wonderful! Definitely, as the previous poster said, check out etsy. There's a better market on etsy, it seems, for handcrafted works. You do an excellent job!


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

I am already on etsy but have only had two sales in two years. I will probably list my bears on there eventually.

I love him SD, and he has a wonderful expression on his face happy The only negative that I can see, and I really hope you don't mind my commenting, is that I don't like his tie. The colours of it are too similar to the colours of his body to stand out nicely in a photo, so it gives it a sort of cluttered look whereas a more plain tie might stand out more. I expect it looks far better in reality than in a photo though.

I do hope you have a turnaround in your eBay fortunes and that Sydney attracts lots of bids for you. I don't see how he could NOT actually!


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

Thanks. The tie looks much better in person (it so hard to convey how great something looks when using a photo lol). I hope things start to turn around in ebay too. I am hoping that the bears really start bringing in a much needed income.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

Sydney is now listed on Ebay! I got his photo shoot done this morning and finished up his auction page and got him listed. Hope he does well. Wish me luck!


myLot reputation of 94/100. GreenMoo (4030)   ranked 48 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

Good luck SD and Sydney. May Sydeny go the way of the other bear and earn you lots of lovely lucre happy

Wait till you see the next one....done in pink silk and pink velvet! The silk is from a vintage silk tie. She will really be cute cute cute!

Sydney is toooo CUTE!! I don't think the bidding on Sydney will stay at the starting bid for too long!
Very cute! Have you tried selling at craft fairs or shows? I think your creations would do very well. They'd make a great B-day gift!


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

I am trying to find out about craft fairs and shows here in Jacksonville but this is really not a crafty city it is more like a metro city.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sweetdesign (2193)   ranked 16 out of 1,064 in crafts  4 years ago

I hope he gets a bid soon. He has had 20 people look at him though.
