Welcome

I love creating things. My craft background is in upholstery and needlework and I was a prolific, but average, artist at one stage. Texture and colour have always fascinated me, so it seems natural that these inspirations and skills all combine into creating collector bears in various tone and cloth variations. Each one takes about two days to make as I do not use a sewing machine and every stitch is done by hand.

Getting bigger! Vincent the Bear

I really wanted to put a 'growler' into a bear, but they are quite large so I had to find a larger pattern to accommodate the size of the growler mechanism. This is the result - and he's my favourite to date. This is a 'Bear Perspective' I took to show Vincent (grey), Ben (middle) and my original and very knackered Steiff.
The wood-wool filling in the head really makes it look angular. I love it!
