All my bears are designed and created by myself,
and each bear is individually thought out
regarding fabric, colour, appearance, style and
huggability.
In the time I have been making bears I have
settled on the basic design whereby some part of
each bear is needle-felted, be it just the nose or
the whole muzzle, the paws or the tongue. The
ears on All of my bears are now string jointed.
This is to allow them to be moved to define the
expression.
Using a variety of fabrics which include Mohair,
Alpaca and luxury synthetic fur the bear seems
to come to life when I view the fabric, it is
almost as if the Bear is in there just waiting to
be released.
For the Needle felting I use either the fleece
from Merino or English Corriedale sheep.
Only the best fillings and steel shot for added
weight.
Currently I try to attend at least one show every
month. Please see the Fairs and Events page.
I do hope to be able to meet you at future shows.
Danni.
