Media Bears

Media Bears

These photos of Bodie Bear were taken in September of 1995. Bodie is from The Professionals, a British TV series.
Dayna (cat) investigates Bodie. The white bear is recycled rabbit fur, the brown one is mink. The green floral in the background covers ORmAC I (my first computer, a MacPlus) the white dotted swiss shows how small the screen was.	This photo (and the next 2) of Fox Mulder from the X-files, US TV series, and his alien captive are probably from the late 1990's.

I enjoyed using ascrap of 'alien' print for his tie.

Jack Vincennes' photo was taken in March 2001, along with Bertie (aka Eggbert, the Counter-top Spy). Jack is based on Kevin Spacey in the movie L.A. Confidential . He's a good-sized bear- about 16 inches tall.

These photos of Justin Taylor, from the US version of the TV series Queer as Folk were taken in February of 2002.

He loved showing off his wardrobe. Some bears are naturally shy, but never Justin Taylor.

To replicate his school uniform, I found a similar striped fabric for the tie, and used fabric pens to paint over the original stripe (which was much too pale). His school crest is a combination of gold lamè fabric backed with iron-on & cut out for the lettering above, and fabric pens on white cloth, which was ironed on afterward.

This is the first Krycek bear I made. He's from the X-files. Putting a separating zipper in his jacket worked well. Details are what makes a bear fun.

The second Krycek is Koala Krycek. He has a removable left arm (I used the largest snap I could find), to match the character in the show both before and after he lost his arm.

This photo was taken in March of 1996. Avon from Blake's 7, is trying to convince the Mountie (I don't know his name) from the US TV series, Due South, that he is not lost, and does not need any advice on his clothing selection.
I didn't make the dog or the horse in the next photo.

Jodphurs on a teddy bear are awfully fiddly, particularly with a set-in stripe. (I think I made another Mountie bear after this one, but I'm not sure.)

This photo of Jenna from Blake's 7, a British TV series, and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, was probably taken in the late 1990's.
