Happy Holidays!

Hello Everyone,
I've been quiet on here lately. I am still around, but I always find myself super busy this time of year and never have enough time to do anything bear related. I am on winter break now, and I did manage to get some work done on a new little bear, so maybe I'll be able to share her with you soon!

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Holidays! Enjoy this time of year and enjoy the people around you! I'm looking forward to going to see my family this weekend, and Zac and I are taking a trip to Orlando, FL over New Year's, so we're going to have a fun (and crazy) next two weeks. (Watch for pictures, especially if we're friends on Facebook. We will certainly upload our adventure.)

Thank you all for following my blog and for supporting me!

Hugs,

Hello Everyone,
I have never done this before, but I decided to do a little sale on my website. It's a great time to start holiday shopping, whether it's for you or someone else, you can receive up to 20% off all of the available bears on my website right now. The sale is up now and will run for the next week, ending on Sunday, November 27th. Take advantage of these special prices for the holidays, as I don't usually mark down my pieces. I would like to find homes for these pieces so that I will be able to continue creating new pieces. If you're interested in any adopting any bears from my site, please e-mail me at tyler@tedsnsuch.com with your location and I will calculate your total with shipping.

Meet Peter!

So, I just posted about another giveaway and realized that my blog has turned into giveaway central and thought that I should share an actual Teds 'n Such bear! Here is my newest bear, Peter.


Peter is a 12" traditional-style bear made of a golden distressed mohair. He has black glass eyes, a black handstitched nose of perle cotton, and golden ultrasuede paws and feet. He is stuffed with a mixture of polyester fiber and steel shot for weight. Peter is fully jointed and he has been hand shaded on his paws, feet, and around his eyes. Peter is currently available for $110 + S/H.

Enjoy! And watch for more bears coming soon :)

New Rainbow Bear!

Hello!

In my last post I mentioned that I was working on a new rainbow bear... and he's now finished just in time for me to take him to the show tomorrow. This is Raylin.

Raylin is a 14" bear made out a hand painted rainbow mohair in 7 different colors. He has black glass eyes with ultrasuede eyelids that have been hand shaded. His nose was hand-stitched out of a black perle cotton. Raylin has off-white ultrasuede toes that have been soft-sculpted and hand shaded. He is fully jointed and stuffed with a mixture of polyfil and steel shot for weight. I will have Raylin with me tomorrow at my last show of the year in Ann Arbor, MI.

I hope to see some of you at the show tomorrow!

Final Show of the Year!

Hello!
This weekend I will be traveling to Ann Arbor, MI for my final show of the year! This is a great show every year that I've been going to for a long time. This show is being put on by Bright Star Promotions and will be open to the public from 9:30 - 3:00. Click here for a sneak preview of the artists that will be at the show and for information about the location of the show.

Below are a couple of new pieces that I will have with me at the show.

I have also been dyeing more fabric and I will have a brand new rainbow bear at the show. I used to make these bears with hand-dyed rainbow colors 6 - 7 years ago, but I ran out of the dyes to make the bears. I just recently found some online, ordered it, and dyed the fur. He's not done yet, but I'm planning to finish him before the show. You'll want to check him out :)

For Real!

Hello!
Here is the project that I have been working on... A 'realistic'-style bear. Please let me know what you think about him.

Wallace is a brand new, one of a kind design from Teds 'n Such!

Wallace is a 14" tall realistic-style bear. He is made out of a wonderful, dense tan plush with rusty brown tips/guard hairs. Wallace has German black glass eyes with leather eyelids that have been hand shaded. He also has leather paws and feet with soft-sculpted claws/toes that have been hand shaded. Wallace's nose has been needle felted out of black wool and has been sealed with a clear coat for protection and to give it a shiny, wet look. Wallace has hand-made black polymer clay claws on his paws and feet. Wallace has been stuffed with a combination of polyester fiber and steel shot. He is fully jointed for poseability. Wallace is currently available for $205.
