Twin custom mink teddies

(pattern #1)

Features of Custom Teddy (pattern #1):

Bears stands 11 inches tall (sits 8 inches)

black glass eyes

embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose

6 joints including a double jointed neck

hand-stitched vintage minks from family's mink stole

scissor sculpted face

gently hand-painted details

wire armature in arms and legs

paw pads from the stole's lining

These darling faces are why I fall in love with each and every teddy that I make.

As long as I love my teddies myself I will continue to make them, 

this is my 31st year as a Teddy Bear Artist ... 

and still counting!

Thank you to all everyone on my Waiting List for being so patient. 

I am not making my teddies as fast as I used to

but at least I am still making them.

included is a hand-stitched "quilt" for the teddies to sit on,

made from the lining of the mink stole.
