annabear Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I loved reading about the bear bidding. If I had the money to be able to do such things, I'd do 'em! This latest great recap of the show with so many details is great! Thanks for bringing it over, ldyj. And Quiana looks so cute with her new hair cut! Progress report on my homemade "Clay as Sir Robin" teddy: I'm not sure about the wig.... it doesn't come out as long once it's on the bear's head. I'm looking for another style. It & the ears are just pinned in place for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playbiller Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well, I went upstairs and picked a bear from the collection, it is 12 " and much thinner than yours, although it is articulated as well. So far, asll I have done is undressed this bear. I still have to order the pieces. Interestingly enough, it is an off white bear with longer fur face. My alternate is an 18 inch blue and green bunny. heaven help me if I buy antoher stuffed animal. I think I still have a few hundred up in the attic.

Bookwhore Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 You have bears in your attic? I guess I shouldn't complain about the squirrels in the backyard then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laljeterfan Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Progress report on my homemade "Clay as Sir Robin" teddy: "Sir Robin" is absolutely adorable!! If you are seriously thinking of making more and selling them, I would love to have a couple! I have no idea if this will work, but way back during the AI tour, my cousin and I brought Clay the gift of a teddy bear. It was right after we had first heard of his new foundation, so we put a card around the bear's neck with some donations in it. Here is our "Clay bear". We weren't talented enough to make him, though- just picked out the clothes- including a WWJD bracelet. OOPS- didn't want all of the pictures in my photobucket account to show up- there is a particularly horrendous one from my summer M&G with Clay that I vowed would never be seen by anyone but me- and I don't even particularly want to look at it! I'll have to see if I can figure out how to add just that picture. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/lal...an/BearClay.jpg YAY- it worked!

playbiller Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 You have bears in your attic? I guess I shouldn't complain about the squirrels in the backyard then. Heh, the majority are only 6" long. Little bears, not so troublesome. Although..... There was the 6 weeks I lived with a squirrel in my house and more than once woke to a tail waving in my face. I guess it didn't want to sleep alone. It was only a baby that fell out of the tree,into my laundry basket, but then could not be caught, too small for the trap I had. Sadie was very old and she just liked to watch the quirrel, didn't even bother barking. Quite unlike Holly and her mouse hunting prowess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughn Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 annabear....your Sir Robin bear is adorable! As for the hair, I think you would almost need to add extensions to what is there. The color and texture is wonderful, but you're correct I think, it's just not long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamar1700 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/lal...an/BearClay.jpg Awww. And based on one of my favorite early Clay picks. I it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Toni7babe's photo album from the past weekend There's a buttload of pretty there. annabear, I love the bear! Can't wait to see the finished product. I'd love to have one too. Sure you can't go into mass production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohdy Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Annabear...be careful! People are clamouring everywhere for some sort of Spamalot bear. You could find yourself with a nifty little side line job... I am available to work from my home....shall I work on perfecting the extensions necessary for little red wigs? LOL Okay...in 7 hours I will be winging my way from Michigan to Florida for 10 days.....please try to keep the racket down in here....this is supposed to be a restful vacation! Anything exciting happens, like someone gets married or announces the lead in a new movie musical or say...details on a cd....someone let me know. I will be checking in........

I'll be sure to let you know when I finally finish if you'd like to order one, laljeterfan. Thanks for the feedback, everyone! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Yes, extensions would be perfect, laughn. I wish there were a craft store locally with more of a selection than Michael's. Online ordering is always so iffy. I'd love to go into 'mass production', but I'd have to charge too much in order to actually make a living! I did it for a little while right after I left college. We had a wonderful co-op craft store that had been in business for about 20 years - true handmade, high-quality items like clocks, pottery, fiber arts, oil painting, quilting, stained glass. At times I brought home more per month than working a regular full time job. At times being the key phrase, unfortunately. I do things now more as a hobby and for charity events. I used to travel for shows/sales, but now my time off work is for traveling to concerts! I design all of my own patterns and try to buy as little 'ready made' as possible, things like the rubber chicken for example. ETA: Ooooooooh, Florida!!! Have fun & safe travels, rohdy! And, yes, get to work on those extensions, will ya?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughn Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 annabear, do you have a costume shop nearby? I would think getting a wig and taking it apart might be better than what Michael's has to offer. Plus one wig should provide enough hair for several bears. ok, I'll shush about Clay bears now...unless, of course, anyone wants to talk about bare Clay....then I'm in.

Reminds me of the most recent board acquaintance whom I met in person. She hugged me and said, "YOU'RE muskifest? Oh, I love your posts...you're the horny one, right?" :lmaosmiley-1: Hee! That CMSU! Just got to my hotel room here in Portland after a plane trip, site visit and dinner. Niiiiiiiice. Will be driving tomorrow a couple of hours to visit the U. of Oregon campus in Eugene...then driving back to get a plane home. whew. Great recap by dksfriend! LOVE details! I just get an idiotic grin on my face whenever I think of Clay now---just knowing he's having so much fun and spreading those talented wings of his.... Gonna kick back now and enjoy the alone-ness in an anonymous hotel room. Ahhh...little pleasures. :F_05BL17blowkiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 annabear since you have a lot of people clamouring for a bear have you thought about just making the costume available?

atinal Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Never mind: I was having trouble putting some things on my IPod, but I called in my resident expert and she helped me out with it...... Oh, annabear, I love merreeee's idea about the bear costume. A miniature one that would fit one of the hundred or more beanie babies that I have packed away would be great!!!!

ldyjocelyn Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Clay had a night out last night. From butterflyshine posting at CV: back from a wonderful evening at the Metropolitan Room. Sean McDaniel, and Ben Cohen performed the music from a new play called: Big Tent-the Tammy Faye story. What a fabulous evening. The playwright was there very, young and talented. They had a variety of Broadway actors perform,and they were awesome. Quiana performed the last number and was fantabulous. she received the nights only standing O. Clay was there, he was seated at the last moment. he looked awesome, purple v-neck, brown tie, brown shirt,hair brushed oo to side. everyone behaved. no one bothered him. I could was seated facing Clay and the stage, from where i was sitting he really seemed to enjoy the show. i took some pics, but not of Clay. After the show he went downstairs to meet the cast and talk to Quiana. great venue, great show...pics to come. ETA: Sean and Ben composed the music for the show, and it is awesome, they are wickedly talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
