I am originally from Manchester and much travelled around the U.K. I arrived in East Sussex in 1999.
I have always been interested in craftwork since learning to knit and sew at school. I started making toys in all fabrics, many years ago, for my three children.
My first big project was porcelain dolls, which I made at evening school. These were painted and dressed by me in various fabrics. My first doll, a reproduction A Marque, was made in September 1993.
The next project was when I bought my first Dolls House, in 1996, which I refurbished and decorated including electric lighting. I even tried my hand at making furniture. I then purchased a Tudor Cottage, which I have furnished.
I turned to Teddy Bears in 1998 when I bought my first Steiff Bear in San Diego, California, and subsequently, I started making my own in Mohair and Alpaca.
All my bears are hand made in Mohair, Alpaca, faux fur or synthetic fabric, with suedette or suede paws, glass eyes and nut and bolt joints. They are stuffed with either fibre fill, wood wool, plastic pellets or a combination.
All Bears are priced individually according to size and the material used. Growlers or Musical Movement can be used if needed.
Photographs are reproduced as near to colour as possible.
