Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Here is what some of our customers have said:

I was elated with the quality of the photography, the pace of the instructions and the clearness of the instructions. THANKS MUCH! (Barbara Hays, Waverly, OH)

I just finished watching "Miniature Jointed Teddy Bear" with Lorraine Garner. It is great. While watching, I made a bear and is he turning out great. It is very clear & easy to understand instructions. Lorraine Garner is very easy to understand and follow along with. Thank you also for the great sources they are great. It is nice to know where to buy the supplies. I have made miniature bears before but the helpful hints that I have gotten has made my little bear the best yet. (Shannon Ann Moran-Waldow, San Jose, CA)

How nice to know how to make a wee Teddy easily and correctly instead of by guess and by golly. It is so much easier to do it right the first time and not have to make corrections. Lorraine is a delightful instructor and so explicit. I had the tools now I know how to use them. (Virginia Bradley, Independence, MO)

Another exceptional video. I purchased this one especially for my daughter who loves and collects bears. I can hardly wait to see the results she gets from this video guide. (Jessie Doering, San Juan Capistrano, CA)

Since I am unable to attend shows and workshops, this tape has put the wind back in my sails. Excellent tape, excellent instruction. Thanks Lorraine! (Faye Munger, N Miami Beach, FL)

2.0 out of 5 stars Great material but bad camera work, January 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Miniature Jointed Teddy Bear (Master Miniaturists) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video presented a chance to work along with a teddy master artist and become knowledgable about proper construction methods and learn a few secrets to help in making our own bears. For the money, a lot of the footage should have been reshot as many, many times the artist's hands were not even in the same area as the camera which panned here and there to try to find them and closeups that were on target, still had hands covering crucial technique because the camera angle was not correct. I also felt more attention could have been given to garment construction instead of assuming we would automatically all know how to do it. In spite of the everything, the artist's love of her craft, expertise, and pleasant personality were evident and I will attempt a bear in the near future but I am nervous about ordering any other vieos in this same series.
