Preview of Wayneston Bears for Melbourne Bear Fair

Yes! The bears are all finally ready to rock! These are the latest creations specially created to bring to Melbourne bear fair, I will be bringing along my other creations as well.

Now that all is done, I got to prepare their COAs, swing tags and my namecards etc before the show! For the next few days I have to pack my luggage, change currency to Australia dollars and do a mockup display for the show. I am sure it's going to be fun!

Counting down 7 days to the Melbourne Bear Fair, see you there! =)
Hugs, Wayne

Wayneston Bears Banner is Ready!

I have collected our table banner today! This is specially make for my exhibitions and shows in Singapore and Overseas!

I designed this banner artwork with photoshop and sent it to my printer to print on PVC with eyelets. It has 6 eyelets in total, therefore it could be hang onto the ceiling, wall or table with cable ties, safetly pins or strings. The PVC material is good, it is water proof hence cleaning it is easy with a wet cloth.

Printing cost is cheap as well, this size which i have made (1700 x 500mm), only cost approximate 24USD! At such affordable price, I would even consider changing the design every year with new bears and backgrounds! =)

In the past I would just place a small photo frame with my logo on my table, however i think it's too small and not prominent. With this banner, I hope that visitors could find table easily.

We will be taking a night flight next Friday to Melbourne and touch down on Saturday morning. We will be having dinner with an Australian artist that day... Who is she? I am keeping this a secret now, she will be reveal after the show!

See you all on Sunday 6th May 2012.
@ Berwick Leisure Centre, 79 Manuka Rd, Berwick VIC

Bye now, I am in the midst of sewing a little critter and he will be ready this week.
Preview pictures will be ready soon!

Hugs, Wayne

Family Outing @ Universal Studios Singapore

We had a wonderful day on Saturday at the Universal Studios Singapore. This new theme park is offically opened on May 2011. It has 7 themes namely - Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar.

My Cousin Christoper and me @ Far far Away Land

The 4D ride at Far Far Away was one of the ride which we enjoyed. We were all seated in an auditorium with a big movie screen. As you follow along Shrek's adventure, the chairs starts shaking with air blowing and even water splashing into your face! It's very fun, thrilling, the children loves it too.

Among all the rides, my favourite is the Transformer 4D ride!!! It's so exciting and we took the ride 2 times!

Transformer Bottles - Pretty Cool!

The rafts keeps turning as it flows down the river, not scary but fun!

Wayneston Bears is taking part in Teddies Worldwide Show!

Hi peeps! Wayneston Bears will be participating the the Teddies Worldwide - Friends of Teddy Online Show! The show starts on 13th July and ends on 15th July.

This show is unlike the previous online shows hosted by Teddies Worldwide; this time it's an animal show! As the name highlighted that it's a "Friends of Teddy" show, you will be expecting to see lots of soft cuddly animals besides bears. Personally I enjoy making animals so this is just the right show for me!

I love challenges and hope one day to create a zoo. If you any animals in mind that you would like me to make, do let me know, you might see them appearing as special guests in this show! =)

Wayneston Bear Making Workshop 8 & 15 April 2012

We have just ended our bear making workshop, it was fun and we have lots of laughter. This time, we have a male student! You will be very impressed that he could sew very well and fast!

The students were very patient and I could see that they enjoy this bear making class. Although this is their first time making a bear, the outcome of the final products are very well done! Good work and I am very proud of them!

Due to the overwhelming response of the workshops, I may have another bunny workshop coming up again in end of May or June after my Melbourne trip! Please visit our blog again for details or sign up for our mailing list.

Hope you will like these pictures we took today! =)
Happy Bear Making!
