Cheap teddy bear?

[karohemd]

While fooling around with a big teddy bear on Saturday (poor thing!) I realised that it made a perfect subject for experimenting with lighting, focussing, depth of field and so forth. A teddy bear sits still, doesn't complain when you put him in odd positions, doesn't need food or drink and has different interesting textures, too.

Anyone have one lying around gathering dust in the loft or know where I could get a cheap one? It doesn't have to be particularly nice but the bigger the better. I guess I'll have a look around the charity shops at one point.

Teddy bears gathering dust? Don't let Paula find out, she'll be right in there for a rescue mission.

Charity Shops are definitely your best bet, unless your adept at fairground games. You should be able to get something large for only a couple of quid.

I put "your" instead of "you're". I'm so ashamed. Bloody phonetic typing.

It's odd. I always found it strange when people do that but the longer I live here and use and write English every day, the more often I catch myself doing exactly the same thing.

I've got a couple of little "bride and groom" ones you're welcome to...

*laughs* from the wedding cake? ;o)

Thanks, but it should to be at least as big as the one in the photos I posted.

You might want to talk to the parents of goth_pooh_bear, then.

I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm charity shopping...

I have a large (1.1m) white one in a bright red uniform. I'll try and remember to bring it to Kate's birthday party in Whissendine.

Thank you!

Wow, that would be grand if you want to part with it!
I might not make the party as I'm flying home for Christmas the next day but I'm sure it'll have a good home until I can pick it up.

Of course, I forgot to take it to the party.
I'll try and drop it off there sometime in the next couple of weeks -- I'll negotiate with K+M to see when they're in.

No worries.
Hope the party was good!
