About my bears

My bears are a combination of all the things I have done as an artist. From graphic design, stained glass, embroidery, glass engraving, textiles, painting and weaving.

All my bears are handmade by myself and I take great pride in my work. I like to walk about the city (Bath) and along the river side with it's narrowboats and tour boats for inspiration.
 
It may sound silly but it's almost as if the bears really do live here amongst the Bath stone Regency buildings. Is it a coincidence that so many of the colours of the stone and sky appear in my bears?

I use many bear making techniques as I love to explore all the possibilities. And I only use the best materials and fittings from within the established and reputable bear making suppliers.

Cinnamon ( above) close to completion. A mohair bear with trapunto paws, polyester filled, fully jointed, German glass bead eyes, weighted and of course a natural diamond in the paw.

I weave my own fabrics and wollens for use in my bears, again only the best materials are used.

I like to add some fun to my characters so please be sure to see some of my bears from the selection below.

All are characters in the 'World of Comfortable Place', our fictional teddy bear romp in the City of Bath, England .
