The orange twins !

New 17'' teddies are up for adoption. I have hand dyed their mohair in a warm orange color. On the left, with the "Joy" ribbon is the girl named May, she is the most quiet and gentle of the two, she would be happy to pass afternoons with you reading and drinking good tea. On the right is the boy named Laurence, he is of the mighty kind, a lion made bear who would be honored to keep bad nightmares away from you when you are asleep :).

Lots of hugs,
Marion

New big blue teddy :)

This one is named Bastien, he is a little less serious and wise than his older brother, and in fact tends to be quite playful. He loves company a lot. I hope you like him ! :)

Hugs to all,
Marion

Big blue teddy !

Finally a new teddy for adoption. This one is named Valère and is wise and calm. He loves reading a lot and would be a great companion if you like the silent kind :).
You can have a look at his pictures here.
Thanks so much ! :)

Little pink mohair mini teddy :).

Very chubby one with veery round tummy :) (more pictures on my flickr). I will try other proportions soon, so that the little bears are all different depending of their personnality :).

Hugs ! :)

Teapot, a little green one :)

With mm... teapots, yes, that is :).
I hope he pleases you !
This gentle little soul likes teatime (obviously), scones and little cakes.
He is on Etsy right now if you wish to give him a new home :).

Lots of hugs,
Marion

PS : behind him you can spy some of the colors of his little brothers and sisters to come sooner or later :).

Little sewing helpers

Very efficient for little embroideries or delicate sewing. They do only what they want, do not bother trying to give them any instructions. It can be a problem sometimes, I must admit.
But from day to day, you can find lovely little pieces of clothings in your socks drawer (or find out that your favorite white shirt is now covered with red embroideries, I never pretended there was no risk ;) ).

Dee and Didi

On Etsy now :).
Hugs,
Marion

Aged little twins :)

I've decided to age to twins a little, I think they look much more coherent now :).
Hope you like them !

Hugs :).

Little bears available in my new Etsy shop :)

Seventies inspired little sister (on the left) and little brother (on the right) available separately : it's here on Etsy.
The little boy is orange with yellow backing and the little girl is orangey-pink.

If you are not on Etsy and are interested in these little ones, just let me know, it is not a problem at all.

Have a great day !
Marion

Playing babies and 6 things about me :)

I'm having fun with the mini Acid Attic :).
More pictures here.

More to come soon :).

*****
I've been tagged by Sharie of Sreetzbears (I absolutely love your creations, Sharie !) to tell 6 random things about me. Well, here it is :) :

1. I'm a hot-water-without-anything-into-it-drinker animal-loving vegan person ^^. This will be good for a number 1 thing :D. I especially love cats (and especially Penny, I'm so in love with my cat :) :) ).

2. I adore toys, vintage, antique, Artoyz, dolls, miniatures... Toys ! I have a soft spot for 1/6 scale chairs and Blythe dolls (and tiny antique softies).

3. I have the chance to live where I have always wanted to live, in Evian near the Leman Lake and I see the mountains and the lake through my windows. I feel the most lucky person on earth to be here and to be able to create my little bears in such a marvelous place :).

4. I'm veeeeeeery shy and I'm more an internet person than a person to meet in real. I absolutely love meeting new people (in fact I love people, and trust everyone easily), but it's easier with a computer inbetween I must admit :). Shy but very joyous and when I get to know people really well, I can manage to feel a little clowny ^^. I'm the kind of person who can jump on the bed with silly clothes on and with Rock-n-roll music playing... Mm let's talk about something else :D.

5. I love books, a lot, and I collect them. My favorite are my two complete editions of Agatha Christie's work, one not really "complete" as edited in the sixties. I love dictionaries and encyclopedias, and... Sci-Fi books too ^^ (and lots of other kind of books).

6. I'm a very family person, I'm married to the most wonderful hubby possible and can't live without him, phone my mummy everyday and my sister all the time also :).

Hugs !

Full mohair mini teddy

I've just finished another mini bear, but all in hand dyed mohair this time. I really love him and hope he pleases you too ! He is for my friend Richard of Richland Bears and is named "Rittie".

Lots of hugs,

New design for 2009 !

Hello,

Happy New Year to all !

The website is not done yet (I can't tell you difficult how it is for me to find a convincing look for the website) but new babies have birth from the studio. They are 5,5 cm (a little over 2 inches) and are really playful. The only trick is not to loose them :). Here are the 3 first ones (all adopted) :





They are so much fun to create !
I will make more of these little ones and open an Etsy shop. I will keep you updated for the opening date !

Lots of bear hugs,
Marion

Sorry for the silence and very few custom orders slots.

It has been long since I have written here !
For the moment most of my materials are still in cardboards...
We should get our things here by September 15th and then as there is much work to make our new appartment livable, we should be able to finally unpack all things at the end of October...
In the meantime, I'm mostly learning how to sew clothes to a better level as I only really know how to sew teddies or soft toys and I would like to be able to dress them (as well as dollies or humans :) ). I think it will be far better not to be stopped by a lack of knowledge, I really would like to be able to sew anything possible and it will improve my bears accessories greatly I think :).

I hope to be able to offer new bears for adoption before November but it's not sure at all.
If you would like to order me something for this Christmas, I can open a few custom orders slots for November. I will create a maximum of 5 custom bears this time.

Feel free to contact me if you would like a special Acid Attic Bear in time for Christmas !

Hugs,
Marion :)

Ada

A new little bear I have finished today. Her name is Ada.
More pictures here :).
She has a very spring color, her light pink reminds me of light pinky tulips flowers.
This has been one of these sunny days I'm even more happy than usual being able to create bears all day :).

Lots of hugs !

Romain

Here is little Romain, I have just finished him. It's one of the first time I'm quite proud of my photographs of a bear, the blue spotted fabric helps a lot as it gives depht.
Please click here if you wish to see the all photoshoot :).

Have a wonderful day,
Marion

Lionel

I'm very happy to have a new little bear to offer for adoption on ebay.
His name is Lionel and he is 6.5'':). I'm especially proud of his color, a sof and beautiful light green.
Please click here if you wish to visit his auction page. Thanks a lot for your interest !

I'm not posting much on this blog for the moment, as I'm working on a brand new Acid Attic Bears website, that will be easier to visit I hope, and better looking if I work well :).
For the moment, I'm uploading day after day my bear pictures on flickr, and if you have a look, you can even see some new bears before they are available for adoption (if not marked as "adopted", they are available".
Here is the link to my flickr page :

http://www.flickr.com/photos/marionklein/

I really love this as it's easier for me to share my pictures as I don't have to write much (I realise that it's much more easy to "blog" in french for me as I do on a little blog about asian dollies and daylife), and it's a marvelous way to meet new people ! I now look at wonderful pictures from all over the world everyday :).


There is a bear I would like to share with you too, her name is Isadora and I'm really in love with this big girl (she is 17''), she will live in her new home soon :



More pictures of her are available here if you like :).

I must say I love bearmaking each day a little more... Even if the blogging thing doesn't show this very much :).
The blog will be included in the new website so it will be easier :).

Have a wonderful week,
lots of bear hugs,
Marion

Bunny again :).


It's quite difficult to post much these days, it seems that time passes so fast !

Hugs and love,
Marion

Bunnies

I'm posting here pictures (not very good because there is not much light today) of the two bunnies so that you can see the size difference :

Well, it seems I have passed all Winter without blogging... I didn't realise it was so long since I had made my latest post.
So here I am and I will try to write on a dayly basis now :).

Today, I'm working on a little bunny for a darling friend collector and tomorrow, I should begin to work on a new line of bears for Spring and Summertime...

That's strange to look at the old pictures of the work area in our previous home. I really have to tidy my new workroom and make pictures !

Here is a picture of a green bear I especially love who will travel to his new home tomorrow :



His name is Aimé, he is a new size bear, at 12.6'' (32 cm). He is so sweet, I will miss him !

Here is another picture before they live of Theophile and Félix :

Théophile is 11'' (28cm) and Felix a 5'' baby.

I'm especially found of little bears I create with fabric bodies like Félix, but I'm not sure they please as much as "regular" all mohair baby bears. I'll make one from time to time as I just can't help myself, they make me smile :).

I have to go and finish the little bunny :).
Have a great day,
Marion

Hello !
I'm finally married, the new home in Montigny is tidy, and I'm happy to be back at work !
If you would like to see some of our wedding pictures, just click on the following link :
http://marion.klein.free.fr/q=wedding

(sorry I don't manage to put the link, for the moment, if you can paste the link in your browser, it would be great :)... I'll find a better way to do soon !)

I will make pictures of my new work room in a few days :).
I'm working on an "aigue-marine" green-blue bear for Nina who made the plaid on this page, I will post pictures in one or two days.
For the moment, as we agreed for a less peachy one with Ann, so little Louisa is available for adoption. I will list her on ebay today, with the same adoption fees with buy-it-now as it would be on my website.

Lots of bear hugs,
Marion
