About the Bears

All of my bears come "stuffed" with lots of love! A great deal of attention is given to every detail. Polyester fiberfill is used for the stuffing. The synthetic bears have safety-lock eyes and all are made with quality synthetic furs. The mohair and real fur bears have sewn-in glass eyes. All have hand embroidered noses. Foot pads are of wool, wool felt, ultra suede, ulta leather or real leather or fabric of your choice. 

Exceptions to the above are the needle felted bears. The finest quality wool roving is used to create the entire bear as they are not "stuffed".  Each felted bear is needle felted by hand.  Some have needle felted noses and others may have hand embroidered noses and they all have sewn-in German glass eyes. 

All of my bears are meant as a collector’s item and are not meant as toys .
Follow a few of the construction steps that each bear (other than the needle felted bears) goes through. These are just a small selection of the many different steps that are required to produce a beautiful custom made  bear.
