ODIN!

This is "Odin" a 23" artist teddy bear made from long pile white faux fur. Odin features 20 hand sculpted, hand tinted claws and hand sculpted german glass eyes. He also has embroidered paw pads, a design exclusive to Tindle Bears. His face has been extensively needle sculpted to give him his impish grin and his nose has been embroidered with complimenting colors and sealed. As with all my bears, they come to you with a certificate of authenticity and hand burned wooden tag indicating their name, company name, and artist signiture. Odin has already caused quite a stir so don't miss him at the show!

GO FOR THE HAMM!!!

OKAY PEEPS! I am making a special artist teddy bear named Hamm for a very good cause. I will soon have him completed with pictures posted everywhere. If you're interested in owning a Tindle Bears original Teddy bear read the story below as it will only be available at the silent online auction at www.blockheadradiolive.com

Larry Hamm over at Chelsea Lynn Designs on Artfire is a friend of many in the world of handmade, he is also the voice of The Crazy Train on Blockhead Radio. Larry has a fantastic wife Janet, and an 8 year old son Jacob who live with him in Lansing, NC deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Larry is a friend to everyone and just an all around swell guy. He is most definitely the "shirt off your back" kind of friend. Right now, all of Larry´s friends and Blockhead Radio are teaming up to help him out in a tough time.

Larry is a disabled diabetic who currently has lost his health insurance. His medication alone monthly is over $2,000. Larry is not receiving disability, he has not been approved yet. His wife is the only source of income and she doesn´t make enough to cover his medications. Larry´s doctors have given him an outlook of only 18 months to live if he doesn´t receive a $17,000 gastric bypass surgery as soon as possible. Larry and his family need all the help from their family and friends they can get! Jacob and Janet need Larry to hang around here with them as long as he possibly can!

All of his friends surely want Larry to stick around too!All of us at Blockhead Radio are gearing up for the biggest Radiothon you´ll ever be a part of!
