I was going to my Nanowrimo write-in when I saw this sign at the entrance of the Arts House.
Free admission.
The Singapore Teddy Bear Show.
Yeaaah, right as if I wasn’t going to go up for a look see before I started my writing.
So after dumping my bag at the cafe with the other wrimos, I decided to go up! Amusingly, the sign said no video or photography but everyone in there was doing it sooo, WHAT THE HECK EH?
WARNING: A LOT OF TEDDY BEAR PICTURES UNDER THE CUT!
Onwards to the Gallery!
This particular lady costs around a few hundred dollars! Understandably of course since the quality and craftsmanship is beautiful.
The guy manning the booth of D’Lyell Bears. A lot of people took pictures of the bears, have a look see at their own website if it catches your fancy though! They’re really pretty.
She agrees that you should visit their website indeed.
There were many styles of bears and from different countries that day. A pity that it was only ONE day though.
I wanted to adopt a softie but I had a lack of monies. OH WELL. Anywho, they’re done by The Little Arts Academy in Singapore! LOOK AT THOSE THINGS, I like ridiculous floppy cute things. PLUS, some of them look like cats. Or cat bear things. You know, it just makes you happy looking at it?
Bears from BRUINSdzigns.
Bears by Mark Rodrigues. I actually like these designs. Reminds me of Alaskan stories for some reason even those Alaska has polar bears than brown bears. But those native American bear stories with tribes!
This one looks soooo sweet. Okay, I’m just gonna post pictures now since I don’t want to comment on every single thing.
HEDGEHOG. Um, right, not gonna comment now and let you appreciate them instead.
Beaaaars. AH HECK, I’ll just keep on commenting.
Bears by Mie Kondo of Heso-Kuma from Japan, they had crystals in them symbolizing luck etc etc. Panda, pandaaaa!!
The polar bear looking at me, he reminded me of Gromer from the book Biophilia. Only if, you know, Gromer was less grumpy and didn’t need to kill any zombie creature thingies or looked younger.
Folk story-ish classic bears. You can see bears in those gnome hats and mushrooms on the right side. Hard for me to read the text but these should be saying it’s done by Fabian Wong. If you guys know and I misread, comment me!
KITTIES by Rosalie Frischmann of Mill Creek Creations. I looked through their catalogue. They actually can make a duplicate soft toy version of your pet!
Of course other things were sold, I’ve never seen Dollcena-s before. That one there was a Woody from Toy Story and the other, well, I forgot where it was from. Haaaa. They were selling material to make bears too!
It was only when I was resizing this pic that I realized that the bear looked familiar. I was taking a pic focusing on the one in the jacket but now I just noticed it’s the one on the poster! Or at least a similar one!
Isaac Kong and Pamela Theng of moob International. The bears are cute and OH OH!
These looked psychedelic fun! I took a pamphlet from their booth. Apparently there are teddy bear making classes at Spotlight. The next dates are 16th and 23rd November or 7th December and 21st December for the classes. $80 for 2 classes and you need to pay $50 for the bear starter kit, materials are included!
Class is for teens or adults only and one can contact Alicia at pawshere.aq@pacific.net.sg to ask or register. AUGH, I HAVE THINGS ON BOTH DATES.
Oh well maybe next time.
In any case, I BOUGHT A BAG FROM MOOB!
The back and front! Well, back and front from whichever you take back and front is. No, don’t be silly I didn’t buy 2 bags for myself. I like cloth bags but not THAT much. The other one’s for my friend. I’m keeping it to send it to her for Christmas! She likes bears a lot.
Heh.
And that is the end of the Teddy Bear Show. I wonder if they’ll have it next year, it’s kinda interesting.
