It is a continually evolving process.  Over time, my designs have incorporated many themes and techniques.  With each project, I have learned something new that helps me along this creative journey.  Attention is paid to every detail from the shape of the foot to the curve of the ear.  I use the finest quality materials in my work including mohair, wool felt, and Ultrasuede.  Each bear wears a tiny jingle bell and has a sewn-in label.  No two are exactly alike.  Most are one-of-a-kind.  Click on the photos above for additional examples of each category.
