This is 'Summer Breeze', a substantial 21" teddy bear who breezed out of my workroom to meet his new mum so quickly, I didn't have time to show him on TT yesterday!
Lovely Noah is a 'no frills' kinda bear! He's 17" and has a growler in his tummy. If you would like to adopt him, please visit www.allbear.co.uk for full details - thank you! :):rose:
Thank you!
This is Theo, he's a lovely big bear at 19", made him from the finest kid mohair. For anyone with a passion for traditional teddy bears, I hope Theo will put a big smile on your face ... and if you adopt him, please remember to tilt him now and again to hear him growl!
If you would like to adopt Theo, or find out a little more about him, please visit www.allbear.co.uk
Thank you! :)
Thanks Lisa

Thank you for the lovely comments! Lisa, I'm sorry but you won't find these bears in the Trentham shop as they are in the Norwich shop!
Thank you all for the lovely comments! I am happy to be able to tell you Jake and Little Ted have found new homes ... Mavis is still hopeful!
I created this sweet little clown bear to celebrate Summer 2012. He is 11" tall and made from three colours of mohair. I hope he makes you smile!

This week the Guild of Master Bearcrafters is showcasing 'Wonderful Whimsy' ... a slideshow gallery of fabulously whimsical work!
Please visit www.masterbearcrafters.ning.com to enjoy the work of our talented members. :)
We have a very special bear show taking place in the UK next weekend. 'The Teddy Bear Artist Event' is held in beautiful Stratford Upon Avon, birthplace of the Bard, William Shakespeare. If you would like to come along, please visit www.teddybearartistevent.co.uk for full details.
In the meantime, here's a little preview of a few of the bears I will be taking to the show ... I hope you like them!
Jake 17"
Mavis 17"
Little Ted 12"
I feel exactly the same way Joanne does about social site overload ... there are many benefits to social networking, but I do think it can be difficult to make your bears stand out among all the games, personal comments, photographs of pets etc and other artists' work.
I recently created this trio of traditional teds for 'The Bear Shop' here in the UK and thought you might enjoy their pic!
Monty, Gordie (L to R bottom) and Norris (top).
They are all approx 13".
Do you have a penchant for panda bears? If so, please visit www.masterbearcrafters.ning.com to enjoy our very special panda slideshow!
We have a lovely slideshow presentation for you on the Guild this week, it's called 'Something old, Something new' ... please visit www.masterbearcrafters.ning.com to enjoy the 'old' alongside the 'new'!
Thank you Thelma!
Thanks Deborah! These little bears are fun to make!
Yay! Maggie May was adopted in superquick time! and
Introducing 'Maggie May' for May Day! And yes, I freely confess I was singing along to Rod Stewart while I finished this little girl bear! :P
She's the first little girl bear from my new 'Tiddlers' range and she's just 8.5" (the half is most important! )
I hope she makes you smile.
If you would like further information, please visit my website www.allbear.co.uk where she is now waiting hopefully for someone special to invite her home. :)
He's lovely!
Thank you all for being so nice!!!
He's a cracker Kelly! Lovely bear!
Thanks Melisa!
I've been making some little bears to celebrate the arrival of Spring here in the UK! This is 'Meadowsweet', an 8.5" clown bear in pretty spring green and pale yellow. Meadowsweet is available for adoption from www.allbear.co.uk
Thanks for looking!
I'm delighted you enjoyed the slideshow and can see the potential when such amazing talent comes together! :clap:
