New bear photos

Just re-photographed all of the bears with a different backdrop.

I think they turned out much better than before.

I'll get them on the computer tomorrow after work and see what they turned out like.

Website update

Well, it took me two evenings, but I got there in the end :)

My website is now updated with a fresh new look.

Feel free to go and have a look around and let me know what you think.

I hope you like it :)

Website revamp

I started doing a website revamp last night. Hopefully will get it finished tonight. Nothing drastic, but I felt it was ready for refreshing.

But it did get me thinking.

Would it be better if I had paypal buttons on each bears adoption page linked up to a shopping cart?

If any of you use/have used Wix or another website builder, what do you think to it?

I am considering either switching to one of these website builders or buying a newer version of Dreamweaver with the fluid screen, so I can see what the site will look like on pc, tablet or mobile phone (I have an old version of Dreamweaver which doesn’t have this option).

New bear - Jiao Jin

Jiao Jin is approximately 12.5" tall (measured standing).

He is made from gold flecked cream and black mohair. (The photo's don't do him justice, he is much more sparkly when you see him 'in the fur'  )

His paw pads are made from black ultra-suede, which have embroidered toes.

Jiao Jin is five way jointed with a wobble-neck joint, and is filled
with heavy weight polyester fibre.

He also has some stainless steel ball bearings in his tummy for extra weight.
