Miniature
Bear Artist
I
began making miniature mohair teddy bears in 1996. I have been fascinated
with miniatures since childhood and enjoy the challenge of trying to make
my miniatures as perfect as possible. My bears have been featured
in Tribute to Teddy Bear Artists (Series
3) by Linda Mullins, Teddy Bear and Friends
(Miniature
Issue, June 1998), and several of my miniature toys have been reproduced
by Deb Canham, Artist Designs.
All of my miniatures are made from mohair, and the teddy bears are fully
disc jointed.
If
you are interested in any of the miniatures that are featured, please send
