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.

First Fully Child Friendly Bear in Dalmation!

I've tried a couple of times to make a child friendly bear, using plastic joints and safety eyes. It's been tricky, but I think I've got the hang of it. This Dalmation bear is washable and made of synthetic fur; so should be allergy resistant. He's also filled with polyester padding, so no wood-wool to ruin in the wash!

I've tried to make him as quirky as possible, and my nephew already loves him and made me promise to make him one similar.


You can see his lovely blue eyes better in this picture:
