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.

Teal BEHEMOTH!

This is an incredibly ambitious project; a traditional jointed teddy bear that's TWENTY EIGHT inches! It's made with 50mm long fine quality faux fur and it's taking me quite some time, but with fabulous results. Little did I know that I would end up sewing something the size of a toddler!

This is the progress to date, the face and ears are yet to be added. And yes, that's a rabbit run he's lying on - it's over a metre long and he's dwarfing it! He's just chilling, enjoying the sun with my cat.
