Why are teddy bear shows all online now?

 

shoppers.jpg (18520 bytes)The person-to-person shows used to be a gathering place for soft-sculpture teddy bear artists to display their adorable bears on tables in hotel ballrooms.

 

Now with technology and the desire to order online, Teddy bear shows are presented to a world market, online, right in the comfort of your own home.

 

Collectors just click on a framed photo of the artist's bear shown online, and buy directly from them.

Hundreds of bears are adopt at each online event.

Bear making is a serious business and an appreciable art form.  Bear artists don't like hearing the term 'buy/sell' bears, it's much too harsh.  They prefer the word 'adopt'.  A teddy bear takes from 8 to 10 hours to make and then another 1 to 4 hours to dress.

Imported mohair is the fabric choice. Shoe-button eyes are used to give the bear that all-caring gaze.  Artist's fingers get numb sewing noses, jointing and stuffing bears.  Most bears are stuffed with Poly-fil fibers, while others have excelsior, or pellets adding a soft squeezable or heavy feel.

 

Each artist creates a special look for their bears, making them one-of-a-kind and highly collectible. Often artists identify bears by signing paw pads, and do it gently, because bears are ticklish.

 

The online shows often have bear accessories such as clothing, jewelry, toys, figurines, furniture, teddy bear books and magazines. There are wonderful things for the avid or beginner collector.

 

Talented artists add character and charm to a once flat piece of fur-like material.  The quality and craftsmanship are truly amazing.
