101 Bears to Make is an all-inclusive resource for crafting the "perfect teddy bear;" it is the only book a bear maker will ever need. Author and bear artist, Nancy Tillberg, reveals the helpful tips and creative techniques behind her original one-of-a-kind masterpieces, providing traditionally hard-to-find information, such as how to craft open-mouthed bears, sculpt teeth, create fur, make double-jointed necks, and use trapunto and silk ribbon embroidered paw pads.

Step-by-step directions for three all-new patterns--one for a traditional teddy bear, another for a modern teddy bear, and a third for a realistic bruin--are accompanied by comprehensive information on altering the patterns, dyeing the fur, airbrushing, and scissor and soft sculpting. For inspiration, readers can refer to the gallery of bears sculpted by international designers.

* Directions for altering three very different patterns focus on creativity and originality * Special projects include a purse that can be easily crafted from the three original patterns * Contains the most up-to-date techniques as well as the basic principals of bear making
