From the Inside Flap
Introduction The following pages contain rare rewards. Here is an opportunity to join the ranks of bear hobbyists who yearn to give life to a hand-made bear. Or, if you have already set forth on this creative path, you’ll find original patterns, handy tips and detailed instructions for making original and unique miniature bears.
The miniature teddy bear artists included in this book are known world wide. They have created exclusive designs with desirable characteristics in their own inimitable style just for readers of this book. Enjoy their words and each of their bears which best exemplify some of the many styles of bears that exist today.
The advantage to the small stature of these miniatures is well known to thousands of collectors and hundreds of bear artists. Every inch is filled with the details of love compacted into a small space. However, less room on the shelf does not mean less room in your heart. The bear(s) you create may be tiny, but they are sure to bring you tons of joyful satisfaction.
Let your individuality shine through as you choose fabrics and materials to make your bear. Undoubtedly, Gisele Nash’s beautiful and practical illustrations will make your project fun, interesting and successful.
I hope you find much joy in your miniature bear making. It is my pleasure to share these pages with you.

This review is from: Creating Miniature Teddy Bears (International Artists' Designs) (Hardcover)
I have to disagree with the previous reviewer, and ask whether or not that reviewer actually tried making the pattern. I have made three of these splendid bears, and they came out beautifully. This is a wonderful selection of different, appealing bear styles, you are sure to find many that you love and wish to make. The instructions are easy to follow. The ideas you get from this book will serve as a springboard to designing your own if you wish. An excellent book for anyone interested in making miniature bears!!

This review is from: Creating Miniature Teddy Bears (International Artists' Designs) (Hardcover)
I gave up on the price of this book coming down and made the plunge and purchased a copy. As a bear desingner and crafter for over twenty five years I can say for sure that this book has priceless ideas and creative bear projects for anyone who would like to create with a pattern or to use a pattern as a jumping off point for your own creativity. I can recommend this book without hesitation and will use it from time to time for inspiration or for a pattern from the experts.
