Some time ago, one of our Guild members suggested I create a blog for the Guild of Master Bearcrafters, somewhere we could share members' creations and introduce our members and their activities from time to time.  I thought it was a great idea at the time and at last, have found time to open our Guild Blog and post our first post!

Updated to add: We now have added several more new blog posts for artist bear devotees to enjoy!  Thank you for visiting!   

These three big bears will shortly be on their way to take up temporary residence in a lovely UK teddy bear shop ... it's always a satisfying feeling to have completed a shop order!  I hope you enjoy their photos.

What shocking news Berta!  It's sad to say that theft is quite common at teddy bear shows ... I have often heard tales of teddy bears being stolen from tables and to have your purse and takings stolen, that is terrible!

Congratulations on your award, it is very well deserved and I'm glad it helped ease the day's sting a little.

Thanks Denise!   

So glad you like him Jane, thank you!  I am delighted to say Orson found a new owner very quickly and will be on his way to meet her in the next few days

Thank you!  The mohair is very special ... such a joy to work with! 

This is Orson, a 21" teddy bear of significant proportion!   

Orson is now available for adoption from www.allbear.co.uk

Dressing teddy bears is an art in itself, so this week, the Guild of Master Bearcrafters invites you to watch their 'Best Bib and Tucker' slideshow presentation of members' work ... these are bears dressed to impress! 

Please come along and see for yourself, the bears are beautiful!
