I received a large request from people asking me how I could give personality to my teddy bears....
Finally, I wrote a new booklet containing 14 pages and 36 pictures showing "how to"
I hope that little booklet will help a lot of people making teddy bears !!!!!

I have to pull the Ebooklet from the market because of people misunderstanding the idea of the booklet ; they wanted a pattern included in it; however, because the technique is available for all types of teddy bears in thread,yarn, knitted or crochet, I did not add a specific pattern which was well explained in the item description. People could used it on other patterns from other artists but it looks like the new idea was not understood by some....
I plan to add the personal technique in the book I'm writing now that will most likely be published next year where it will include patterns and "how to".
I'm feeling sorry for that, but I had to take this decision to avoid further problems which are taking time from my beloved teddy bears and eating up the much needed time for the book. If you are still interested to buy the "how to" ... of course NOT including the pattern please feel free to contact me.
A New EBooklet released today
The booklet is for sale : http://chantalbears.jigsy.com/patterns-for-sale

My new Creation for Josiane
Updated : June 4th 2011
Featured as a Teddy Bear Painter in Bears and Buds Magazine.
Here is the text and the link :
Canadian artist Chantal Giroux did this teddy bear piece just for our article.
Our next artist, Chantal Giroux, is an active member of Bears&Buds and makes her home to our north in Saint Johns, New Brunswick Canada.
This delightful teddy bear artist was attracted to teddy bears right from her childhood, and they remain her passion today.
Her daughter Laura, who is also a teddy bear artist, is quick to praise her mother’s talents.
Chantal’s work includes her expressions in knitting, crochet, tatting, painting, embroidery and a long list of other forms of creating amazing teddy bears.
Daughter Laura says “Mom made her first crochet bear about 7 years ago, and I still have it! Bear making is not a job for her; it is her life.”
Take a look at Chantal’s other creations too.
