Book Description
101 Bears to Make is an all-inclusive resource for crafting the "perfect teddy bear;" it is the only book a bear maker will ever need. Author and bear artist, Nancy Tillberg, reveals the helpful tips and creative techniques behind her original one-of-a-kind masterpieces, providing traditionally hard-to-find information, such as how to craft open-mouthed bears, sculpt teeth, create fur, make double-jointed necks, and use trapunto and silk ribbon embroidered paw pads.
Step-by-step directions for three all-new patterns--one for a traditional teddy bear, another for a modern teddy bear, and a third for a realistic bruin--are accompanied by comprehensive information on altering the patterns, dyeing the fur, airbrushing, and scissor and soft sculpting. For inspiration, readers can refer to the gallery of bears sculpted by international designers.
* Directions for altering three very different patterns focus on creativity and originality * Special projects include a purse that can be easily crafted from the three original patterns * Contains the most up-to-date techniques as well as the basic principals of bear making

Wonderful book, easy to follow directions
by Customer A3EEHKC6DWRMJI at September 18th, 2008
This is the only teddy bear making book I own, because it has everything in it I could ever possibly want to do. I have created dozens of bears from the patterns and techniques in here and they've all come out great. The steps are easy to follow and it has a lot of creative suggestions in it.

Best Bear making book
by Customer A2G16KIP5B5XKP at March 12th, 2007
Of all the many bear books I own this one is the most thorough and easy to follow. It's twice as large as most books. Covers many things for the beginer and lots of advanced instructions as well. It has new ideas I've not seen in other books. You can't do better than this book.------------Pam
