Creating Miniature Teddy Bears (International Artists' Designs)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book
Review: 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!!

Summary: Don't bother
Review: The patterns included with this book are completely useless. They look as though they were drawn by hand with no regard as to whether the pieces would actually fit together. Making a bear with these pattern pieces would be impossible.

Review: This was an excellent book. For beginners and experienced teddy bear makers. There are many helpful tips and tricks. Lots of great suggestions for locating supplies. It is an imagination jump-starter. A great reference tool, and a must have. I highly recommend this book.
