I started collecting Teddy Bears (Hermann and Steiff) several years ago, when one day the fall of 2005, I got the urge to make one of my own. After buying some German Mohair, arm & leg joints, eyes and some thread, away I went - 32 hours later I created my first bear - Spearmint. Living in the beautiful Ohio countryside and raised on a farm, I learned how to sew at a young age from my mother and being a member of 4-H. What a pleasure to revisit my old talents.
I retired from the military this summer after 29 years of service and hope to cultivate my Teddy Bear skills. Everything is sewed by hand and sewing machine and each bear is stuffed with lots of care. All my bears are made with the best German or English Mohairs. They are never made in a hurry, so they are very well hand crafted. In October 2007, I was fortunate enought to attend the famous teddy bear artist (Michelle Lamb's), teddy bear sculpting class in Schaumburg, IL that took place during the 25th Teddy Bear and Friends Magazine Celebration! In Dec 2007 I also took a teddy bear class with the famous artist Isabella Hoffman who designs bears for Clemenson Teddy Bears in Germany. Working with these great artists will enable me to perfect my teddy bear making skills.
I also am grateful that one of my bears were pictured in the April 2007 Teddy Bear and Friends "Teddy Bear Face Book" which featured 568 Teddy Bears around the world.
