Bonnie has been designing and making bears for the past twenty four years and is always working towards something new and different. She loves to watch each creation come to life as a piece is finished. Bonnie has traveled to many bear shows and conventions and met many wonderful people through the years. She is a talented self taught artist, that designs and creates each piece by herself. Most of the creations are one-of-a-kind, or very low editions.

Each design is made with quality materials using mohair and alpaca furs mostly, and every once in a while she will find that special vintage coat or wrap that makes a very special TEDDY !!!

German glass eyes are used in most cases and some are hand paint to give that special look to the one of a kind creation. She has also used old shoe buttons for eyes from time to time for that vintage look. Each piece is fully jointed and some have armatures in the arms and legs for pose ability. Bonnie uses polyfill, pellets, BB’s and coated glass beads to fill the bodies. The noses and mouths are hand stitched using perle cotton or floss.
