Here are a few of the bears that were available at Hugglets Teddies 2014 event on September 14th!

This time I’ve had fun working with a few beautiful curly and windswept mohairs, which have challenged my facial scissor shaping techniques, but I am thrilled with the end results. The bears are just a little bit different, and more traditional in style! Also…I’ve enjoyed using Alpaca, a real favourite of mine to work with, beautifully dense and luxurious, and very, very tactile!

Each bear has my signature hand embroidered paw/footpads, in a variety of shapes, some with padded heels, using pure wool felt, real leathers, ultra suede, and hand painted techniques.

As you can see… we also have colour!!! and another little bodice! Collars too…using many different threads, wools, silks, beads, and leathers, and buttons, all to compliment, and blend with each bear making each and everyone unique. I absolutely loved making them all!!

The wonderful Hugglet’s Winter BearFest show was very successful, so I would like to share with you just a few of the bears that were available on the day!

They are all unique in design, character and size, created from the most wonderful luxurious mohairs and alpacas. One very special bear, Theodora has been made from a fabulous Schulte faux fur with stunning results…due to the amazing density of the fabric!

The collars… have been great fun to create, all made by myself and colour blended to compliment each individual bear. Some collars have been needle felted, with silks, wools, and threads, then surface embellished…. while others I have hand worked using a variety of mixed yarns!
