Everyone is invited to enter our "Moon Bear Competition".
We're looking for someone to design us a pattern for a "Moon Bear".
The winning pattern will be sold on our website & the winner will receive $100 worth of "Beary Cheap" bear making supplies!!!
Beary Cheap will donate $5.00 from every pattern sale towards "Naji's Den".

Here's the requirements to enter:
1. Design your own "Moon Bear" pattern, it must be your own, original design.
2. Make your bear using fabrics from "Beary Cheap" - can be either mohair or synthetic furs.
3. Take a great photo of your bear & email it to sales@bearycheap.com using this link by 31st March, 2007

Tips to help your entry;
1) Ensure you take a good photo of your bear as this is the only method we have of judging the winner.
2) Try not to make your pattern too complicated, as the pattern must be able to be
reproduced by a wide variety of bear makers with varying degrees of skill.
3. Your pattern does not have to be too realistic, we are looking for photogenic qualities too.
4. Please ensure you use "Beary Cheap" fabrics, as we need to be able to provide kits using our fabrics.
5. Remember to tell us which of our fabrics you've used in your bear.

Please note: The pattern will be completely produced in saleable form by Beary Cheap.
The winning entry will be required to provide their pattern & photo, so that we can produce the patterns.

By professional Australian Bear Artist - Jennifer Laing. This DVD runs for 85 mins and shows how to make a traditional jointed mohair teddy bear.
It covers everything from choosing your fabric, cutting out, stitching, jointing, stuffing, closing seams, eyes, nose etc.
Everything is shown in close up detail & will answer a lot of questions you may have. .

These are genuine Antique Shoebutton Eyes from a closed down bootmakers factory in Iowa, USA.
Black shoebuttons, perfect for making antique style teddies!

Of course, we have a limited quantity of these, so don't wait too long if you'd like to order some.

"Buster"
by Anita Dickinson (Australia)

This delightful little bear is Anita's second attempt at an
open-mouth. Buster is approx 12ins/30 cms tall,
with needle-felted nose and pawpads.

"Pickles"
by Sharon Hawkes (New Zealand)

This wee guy is called Pickles, he is an original pattern & was made using our Soya Mohair. He has a needle felted face and paw pads & stands at just 4". Pickles is Sharon's third Bear made using a combination of traditional bear making and Needle Felting.

Don't forget we're still trying to raise enough money to build "Naji" his own Den at the sanctuary.
Now he's arrived, we need to work fast, so he has a comfortable "home" as soon as possible.

Please help us to raise money to build "Naji" a den.
A den will give "Naji" what he needs most in the world -
a safe and secure home and a place to run back to whenever he feels threatened or upset. Inside, he'll have friends to console him, food to reassure him and hanging basket beds to dream his worries away, before facing the challenges of another day.
