Latest News

I have been really busy the last few weeks while Casper has been re-cuperating from his knee surgery, trying to catch up with all the bears who weren't quite finished so that I can continue with my new designs. Below are a few of them. Hope you like them!

"Will" is from a traditionl pattern (same as Sophie and Jodie below) and stands at just 7 inches tall, fully jointed, poly filled, boot button eyes. needle felted nose, cotton mouth. He has been created from a lovely vintage gold mohair. He reminds me of "Wee Willie Winkie", hence his name. He comes complete with his beige/white plush jacket and hat ready for the winter. He is a cute little bear with a lovely smile. He is now on my website and in my Etsy Shop!

Please meet "Jodie" a new "Genista Bear" that I have just put the finishing touches too. "Jodie" is a traditional style bear created from a lovely vintage gold mohair with co-ordinating ultrasuede paw pads. She is fully jointed with black boot button eyes, black needlefelted nose and cotton mouth. She is poly filled. "Jodie" comes complete with her pretty cotton outfit, dress, pants and matching bow on her head. She is a cute little bear with a lovely little smaile!

She is now on my website and in my Etsy Shop!

Sophie is 10 inches tall and created from the same pattern as "Jodie" in the traditional style from a beautiful light beige mohair with co-ordinating paw pads. She is fully jointed, polyfilled, black boot button eyes, black needle felted nose and cotton mouth. "Sophie" comes complete in her pretty pink cotton/lace outfit, dress, matching pants and lace ribbon on her head. She is a sweet little bear. Sophie is now on my website and in my Etsy Shop!

Please meet "Cloud" a new "Genista Bear" who is just under 10 inches tall and has been created from a beautiful Schulte dense blue mohair with co-ordinating mohair paw pads. "Cloud" is fully cotter pin jointed, poly filled, black German glass eyes, needle felted nose/snout. He can stand on his own unaided using his big bulky feet and his pot belly.

"Cloud" comes complete with his blue wooly stripey pixie hat to keep him warm.

He is now on my website and in my Etsy Shop!

I hope you like them all!!
