All my bears are designed and created by myself, and each bear is individually thought out regarding fabric, colour, apperance, style and huggability.
In the time I have been making bears I have settled on the 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 the larger bears are string jointed to allow them to be moved to define the expression.
I use a variety of fabrics which include Mohair, Alpaca and 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 Merino or English Corrie dale. I use only the best fillings and use steel shot for added weight.
Currently I try to attend at least one show every month. I hope to meet you at future shows.
Hugs Danni.
