Have You Taken The Pledge Yet?


Have you taken the Pledge To Buy Handmade yet? As a teddy bear artist or artist bear collector, you know the amount of blood, sweat and tears that go into every handmade teddy. You know that these bears possess a certain quality and character that no manufactured teddy bear could ever replicate. When you buy a handmade teddy or any other handmade item, you are supporting individual artists in your area as well as promoting an environmentally friendly industry. The environmental footprint left by artists in this industry is much smaller than those left by any major manufacturing company. So do your part and help support artists by buying handmade throughout the year. You won't regret it...

Take The Pledge At...

"I have always found that handmade items have more character and detail than anything that can be produced in mass quantities. There is something to be said for the quality and rarity of handmade items in todays fast paced society...That someone would take hours and build something with their own two hands is remarkable!!!" - Jeremy Newell

Hon, art can't be rushed. It comes in it's own time. You need to find the thing that is blocking you and work through it and the creative juices will be flowing again!

Yep, I pledged a while back although I can't find my name on the list because it's 10 miles long at this point! Anyway, great to know that you've pledged too!

Now you need an Etsy.com shop!
