"Chandler" is the guilty one -
the three foot polar bear my mother made me for Christmas four years ago - he
started it all! Soon I was creating my own designs and before I knew it I was
timidly cutting my first piece of mohair, praying I would not ruin it! There
has been no turning back!
After I began making bears it was not long
before I was approached to make heirloom bears from fur coats. Now I work
regularly with real fur, wonderful European synthetics and of course mohair.
With the encouragement and support of my family I have opened a bear
shop in our home where I showcase my bears and have supplies for other bear
artists. It is on the busy bear days that Chandler "suddenly" moves slightly
just so that I need to rearrange him - I think it is his way to remind me who
it was that started everything!
