More Homemade Bing and Flop Dolls

AudryElla from the USA with her splendid homemade Bing and Flop pair, made by her grandmother for Christmas 2008. This is the 7th pair of homemade Bing and Flop dolls I'm aware of.

Anthony

Armand, an old pal from Brown University introduced me to his little boy, Anthony, in May 2008 at a reunion. Anthony seems to have caught the Bing infection. I like comparing the toddler picture with the one 6 months before.

Ned

Lou from Melbourne, Australia, writes; "Ned, who is 1, loves tactile things and so he loves your mix of illustration and photography styles. I am looking forward to downloading Bing and Flop for a T-shirt for Ned and maybe even one for mummy. Thanks for creating such a joyful little character."

Do Not Disturb

Julie and Steve of Surrey, England, sent in this unique piece of Bingobelia with the letter: "Our niece, Misty, absolutely adores Bing. She has just moved From London to Kent and we thought she would feel more comfortable in her new bedroom with Bing 'guarding' the bedroom door! The books are great, thank you."

Bedtime

If ever there was a 'photo of the month', this has got to be it. "I heard Eliza moving around a bit and after it had gone quiet I went up to check and this is what I found."
March 2008

Phoebe

Phoebe's message is unambiguous, but perhaps Bing helps them rule. It never occured to me until I saw this photo how the dummy or pacifier is roughly in the shape of Bing's mouth mask.

Chance in a Million

Ethan and Phoebe of Roslindale, Massachusetts,enjoy a Bing pile with their grandmother.It turns out they were visiting friends of mine in Oxford and started raving about Bing books to my friends, who of course, were already well buried in Bing culture. Serendipity rules in Oxford!

Bingham

"Just a quick note to say "Thanks" for the Bing Bunny series. Our son, who's name is Bingham, (we call him Bing for short) just LOVES these books. So, we purchased all 8 books as a 3rd birthday gift and he nearly has them all memorized. Thanks again!"
Brian, Vickie and Bing

Winner of the Most Messed Up Bing Book Contest

Robert from Manchester, England, is as serious a bingster as any I've seen. He's also a contestant in the MOST MESSED UP BING BOOK CONTEST.
Not only have his parents made him a Bing t-shirt but his grandmother actually created one of the very first Bing bunny dolls.
On the eve of finally signing the contract to start a slow-rolling television and merchandise program, I cant help feeling that this is a historically important doll. Perhaps many years from now, when we build the Bing Museum in Oxford, we can raise funds to acquire the world's first Bing for the permanent collection...
...that is, if Robert is willing to part with him. Which I doubt he would or should.

Jacek and Andris from Hungary

Jacek and Andris from Hungary are the first Bingsters to have photos on the site wearing their Bing ears downloaded and printed out from the site.




Jacek a with a well-worn copy of Bing Bed Time.




Close-up of Andris in characteristic toddler food-in-mouth shot. Dont spill the chocolate biscuit, Andris!

Eating "Yuk!"

Peter Cassidy, an old friend from teaching days in the USA, introduces Bing YUK! to his two boys, Bertie and Thomas (now living in London).




Bertie was intrigued by the photographic images of food in Bing YUK! and bent down to eat the photos. Yum yum yum.

Again and again and again and again....

Cordelia of Staten Island, New York, in what I am assured is an unstaged photo, asking to read Bing Bed Time again and again and again and again and again etc...

First Bing Shirt

Seamus from Virginia, the very first Bingster to have photos on the site wearing his Bing shirt, downloaded and printed out from the site. This one is quite deluxe in that his parents also downloaded the Bing logo and positioned it in appeallingly jaunty position beneath Bing's feet.

Tigger Trumped

2-year-old Byron from York, England, in his bedroom with Bing and Flop on his wall, downloaded from the DOWNLOADS section of bingbunny.com (Tigger looks on jealously).

Orange Santa

Katherine with Big Orange Santa (aka Bill, her grandfather) in Tennessee. Orange is not only Bing's favourite colour, it's everyone's favorite color in Tennessee - it's the color for the University of Tennessee, where football is very important.
