It has been raining for a few weeks in Hong Kong, hope that such gloomy days will end soon ............. longing for sunshine!<br />
<br />
Have finished a sweet bunny that cheers me up : )<br />
I've given her a sweet name, too. Let's meet Hunny, my spring bunny to welcome sunshine!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hunny is about 11.5"/29cm tall (13.5"/34cm from ears), made from beige mohair and buttermilk faux fur. <br />
<br />

<br />
Though Hunny is made from a new pattern, she also got YuYu Bear's signature innocent eyes and puffy cheeks.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Hi, I’m Rita Yuk Ying
Ng from Hong Kong. There are only a few Chinese bear artists in the teddy bear
and soft sculpture scene, and I’m one of the minorities. My business name
"YuYu Bear" comes from my initials. The pronunciation of
"Yu" is similar to that of fish in Chinese, that's why I designed my
logo in fish shape with a teddy bear and a heart inside to illustrate my love
of artist bears. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I began my
journey of bear making a few years ago as I came across a craft shop displaying
artist bears which caught my attention. I searched the internet to learn more
about these collectibles. I found the world of artist teddy bears really
amazing and started taking courses at a local bear shop. My thirst for
improvement then attracted me to Taiwan to take an intensive course in June
2009. With guidance from Elaine and Maggie of Dear Bear, I not only learnt the
skills but also found the joy in making artist bears.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I started designing my own pattern and made a fairy bear from it
at the end of 2009. My first bear “Fairy_love green”, with open-mouth and
crystal dip leaves as wings, won the 1st place in miniature category of 2009
Taiwan Teddy Bear Creative Awards! I dreamed of becoming a bear artist since
then <span class="ecxapple-style-span">and posted photos of my creations on
Facebook. After a few months, my </span>angel bear which was dedicated to the
memory of my beloved mother caught a collector’s attention, and I got my first
commissioned order from overseas.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, I kept working on different materials and adjusting
my designs. Such experimental form of learning not only enhanced my bear making
skills, but also helped to achieve the sweet round faces with puffy cheeks as
the trademark of YuYu Bear. Besides needle and scissor sculpting, I also apply
needle felting skills to give my bears round noses of wool. Some of my new
creations also have felted eyelids which help to create an innocent look and
make them more appealing!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In addition to needle felting, <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I
love to incorporate other skills like crochet and embroidery into my contemporary
bear style. As I enjoy crocheting, sometimes I crochet hats, capes, shoes or
other adornments to dress my bears. I also like embroidery, besides using such
skill to embroider nose, it can be used to embroider flower, name or date on
foot pads, especially in making wedding bears. And all my creations have
"Y" embroidered on foot pads symbolizing "YuYu Bear". <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="ecxapple-style-span"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">My interest in making artist bears grows as bears are born from
imagination to lovable designs. </span></span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I enjoy creating individuality for each bear and </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">keep
experimenting to bring my ideas alive. So my previous creations are quite
different from what I’m making. Now, <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I create
artist bears and friends of variety from small to medium sizes and miniatures, I
also make big bears if commissioned though. The largest bear that I've ever
made is about 40cm named Rupert, who is photographed with a mini bear in red
and white sitting on his arm.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides bears, you can also find bunny, elephant,
bee and panda in my creations. I like designing and making animal friends,
pandas especially. They are fun to create as different color combination can be
used other than black and white. However, I’m very attached to the black and
white panda, DaDa, who is sitting in a normal size bamboo steamer as shown in
my profile picture. He won the 1st place in British Bear Artist Awards 2011
(international artists category)!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="ecxapple-style-span"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">As more and more people are interested in Chinese culture, collectors
welcome the idea of “dim sum” bears, especially panda in bamboo steamer. Dim
sum is unique culinary art of Chinese food prepared as bite-sized or individual
portions traditionally served in bamboo steamers. I usually create bears from </span></span><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">3 to 4 inches to fit in mini bamboo steamers.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">To better promote my creations to bear collectors from around the world,
I participated in an online bear show last year for the first time. It was
great experience and hope that I’ll </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">participate in a real bear show someday, meet collectors in person
and also other bear artists, it must be fun!</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">Last year, I tried for my first time to participate in a Christmas online bear show, it was wonderful experience and some of the show bears found sweet new homes. And it was such a great chance to promote my bear creations and meet new customers. Just before Christmas, one of my previous creations, Holly (the Santa's helper) was adopted by a collector from USA (as mentioned in my previous post), she then sent me sweet comments of the bear arrived and adopted bunny Chiffon before year end. I'm so happy for them as they're now living merrily with their loving new mom.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">At the beginning of 2013, another collector has adopted two girlish bears, Sakura and CoCo from YuYu Bear. The collectors' support and their sweet comments is great motivation for me to design and create more lovable bears and friends. Hope to show you my new bears soon, stay tuned! If you'd like to receive latest news about my new creations, you're cordially invited to join my mailing list : )</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Please accept my apologies that I haven't posted new blog for six months!!! Although I'm a bit lazy on writing, I've been working hard on new bears and gifts for the coming <b>Teddies Worldwide Christmas Treasures online show (Nov 16-18)</b>.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #fffde8; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">It's the first online show that YuYu Bear participates in! I have finished 8 bears and 6 gifts especially for the show that will begin on <b>Nov 16 at 4pm New York time</b>. Please mark your calendar so you won't miss the chance to adopt beautiful bears created by 85 artists from around the world. V</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.9948px; text-align: left;">oting for your favorite bear has begun, be sure to visit </span><a href="http://www.teddiesworldwide.com/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; line-height: 17.9948px; text-align: left;" target="_blank"><i>www.TeddiesWorldwide.com</i></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.9948px; text-align: left;"> to catch the holiday spirit!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.9948px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #fffde8; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Only a few days left, and hopefully I'll finish one more bear. So I'd have nine bears from 4" to 10" and crocheted bear gifts including bear photo clips, Christmas socks and key holders. When the show begins I can post more photos here as those "under wraps" show pieces are opened for adoption then.</span></span></div>

I like fluffy mohair and used it to make a bee bear and a ladybird bear. They were fun to make, the wired antennas have matching color wool felted balls attached. For their bodies, I made a pair of wings from light yellow wool felted sheets for the bee, and needle felted black spots onto the beetle's body. They remind me of the nature's beauty, and it's time to go out and have fun : )</div>

I'd also like to introduce A.W., this sweet little bear wears a light blue lace tutu and a yellow striped scarf, with initials embroidered on foot pads. I enjoy making such small sized bear that can be held in hand. Mostly, I make bears from mini (3") to medium (10") sizes, but I've just got a commissioned order of a 15 inches bear, a change for me. I placed an order of fabric for making it, can't wait to receive the fabric and start sewing!</div>Rita Nghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01408571965588279784noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918632576128834665.post-1284682581056129652011-12-12T23:32:00.000+08:002011-12-12T23:33:30.655+08:00Winter bears<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I crocheted a red cape for Cherry Plum to complete her innocent look. Besides, I like to try something new from time to time, I added eyelashes to my bear for the first time which made her more charming! She's now looking for a new home:<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though I'm still working on autumn themed bears, I've finished three Christmas bears and they're delighted to say "Merry Christmas" (a bit early) to my blog readers.</span></div>

His ear pads are hand shaded in green, and </span><span style="line-height: 14px;">he wears a big red bell around his neck.</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> Besides, his paw pads are made from checkered cloth in matching colours.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me first introduce my favorite : Oceanna (about 8 inches tall) and babe doll. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I tied a bow of ribbon on her head to match her antique blue wavy kid mohair. Besides, I made her a cuddly babe doll to accompany her, which is about 3 inches tall, made from pink sassy with needle felted muzzle and milk bottle. This baby is the smallest bear I've ever made and is also fully cotter pin jointed. Though it's not easy to make miniatures, I'd like to try making even smaller bears as I've got very tiny cotter pin joints.</span></span><br />

Though they are brothers, Dimo is an amusing contrast to Suma. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">Both are inspired by “dim sum”, a type of Chinese meal, and their names, too.

</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The bears are about 6" tall, both are made from yellow alpaca. For the boy, Banana Daiquiri, I used black alpaca for his body. For the sweet girl, white alpaca is used for her limbs. The cute chick, Banoffee is their best friend. It is needle felted and the little round noses of the bears are felted, too.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333;">Lime Soda (about 8.5" tall) is a smaller version of Lollipop. Both are made from white alpaca and pink/green mohair. They have cute faces with round noses felted of wool in matching colors. Besides, their paw pads are made from cotton fabric with polka dots. They are looking for new moms: </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75431337/ooak-artist-bear-lime-soda-by-yuyu-bear">http://www.etsy.com/listing/75431337/ooak-artist-bear-lime-soda-by-yuyu-bear</a></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333;">I'd also like you to meet the Wizard. When I finished the bear and hand shaded his face, I decided to dress him as a wizard. So I made him a wizard hat and a cape in burgundy color to match the pink mohair. For the staff, I thought in the shape of mushrooms would be fun to make. Thus, he comes with a needle felted staff of mushrooms. I added a string to his hand so as to hold it in place. He's now available for adoption: </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75429826/ooak-artist-bear-wizard-by-yuyu-bear">http://www.etsy.com/listing/75429826/ooak-artist-bear-wizard-by-yuyu-bear</a></span><br />
