Books with author Ted Menten

According to Ted Menten, premier authority on the subject of collectible teddy bear construction, making these plush little companions can be a highly creative pursuit. Unlike other toys that were once handmade and are now machine-produced, teddy bears remain basically the same as they were when first created in 1903. Emphasizing the fun, expressive aspect of this time-honored handcraft, Menten offers a unique new technique developed in his popular teddy bear-making classes, using basic patterns that can be modified and interchanged to create uniquely personal bears any crafter will display with pride. Ted Menten is the author of Gentle Closings and After Goodbye. He also created the magazine Teddy Bear Review, has written 19 books on the subject, and conducts teddy bear-making classes around the world.
