ABC Dancer Elmo - Elmo dances to the ABCs. Animal Alley White Teddy Bear by Commonwealth Toys - This lush, cozy bear has an impossibly soft white coat and easily became a favorite with our testers. Its oversize shape and huggable body make this plush fellow a perfect naptime companion for any child (or kid at heart). At 14 inches, it's large enough to feel like a big bear to a toddler, but not too unwieldy to be carried around. Inner ears and paw pads are made of soft pale green velour, and he sports a coordinating satin ribbon around his neck. World of Knitted Toys - Here are animals from every corner of the globe just waiting to become someone's best friend. From a colorful parrot to a friendly dolphin, a prowling tiger to farmyard ducks and hens, every project has easy-to-read patterns and clear advice on how to create just the right expression on each face. "An invaluable addition to any knitter's bookshelf." Rainbow Bears to Make and Collect - This how-to book starts out with a history of Sally Winey’s original designs. It then provides general guidance for any bear maker explaining how to choose the right material for your bear, how to hand-dye fabric, use floral paint to color your bear, and much more. Rainbow Bears to Make & Collect concludes by illustrating how to make three specific Sally Winey Rainbow Bears. This book is not only for people interested in making Sally Winey bears, but also for those seeking information on making teddy bears in general. If you are one of those people, then this book is for you! Sally has been making bears since 1983, first as an individual crafter, then for many years as the central figure in a family-sized cottage industry. She has taught classes, owned shops, and sold fabric, manufactured bears, and worked by fellow artists. A number of Sally’s plush animal designs were manufactured several years ago by Ty, Inc. Today she has her own line – Winey Bears, delightful and heartwarming mohair artist bears. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
