Teddy Bear Club International Magazine is a thoroughly absorbing read for all lovers of teddy bears, particularly collectors of traditional mohair teds. As a mohair bear artist myself, I am always on the lookout for a decent magazine to support my craft and this one I rate amongst the best! It always includes a pattern for a fully jointed bear for you to create yourself (with good clear instructions) and normally a pattern for a dressed item too. The magazine is jammed full of articles, interviews with top bear artists and manufacturers, a readers page, and loads of yummy teddy bear photos to drool over! It also comes with an awful lot of advertisements, but these are actually not at all offputting as most show more photos of adorable teds created with love and attention to detail by teddy bear artists all over. One nice touch is the mag always devotes a section to promoting the work of artists and companies overseas, particularly useful for those wanting to widen their collection. This is a great magazine, chatty, informative and well written...buy it today!!!
