Bear Makers New and Old: Buy This Book!!,
By
This review is from: 101 Bears to Make (Paperback)
I've been making bears for 20 years and this is the most complete book, most detailed, easy to understand book I have every seen. I have many bear making books, but now feel I can get rid of them and just use this one as a reference. Wonderful for the beginning bear maker or the very experienced. No matter what you will learn something new. The photos are spectacular. I used two of the lessons right away and will use many more. You can tell a very detailed and a lover of bears type person wrote this book.

A Joy to own!,
By trudy (Regina, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Bears to Make (Paperback)
For anyone who loves teddy bear making as much as I do, this book is joy to own! Nancy Tillberg has included page after page of beautiful pictures of her work and demonstrates how to make your own teddy in easy step by step instructions. I own her first book (teddy bears with a past) and find her second book even more enjoyable than the first. A must have for any teddy bear artist to own.

This review is from: 101 Bears to Make (Paperback)
This is a great book that was recommended to me by a teddy bear artist. It's thoughtfully developed, detailed, and the photos are beautiful. There are some great ideas in this book. It can save you months of scouring the internet for tips. Definitely the best teddy bear book I've read.
