Ickle Peaches available for adoption

Well this ICKLE bear is one who should have come to Stratford show but wasn't quite finished in time. I then was working on bears for Silly Bears ...so she still sat there on my mantlepiece...then I decided to make two big bears...so she waited patiently again...but today I finished her...I made this pretty outfit and her she is ready for a new home!
Ickle Peaches is 8 inches tall and is made from a lovely curly alpaca in ivory, it's very fluffy and tactile rather like lambs wool.
She has a needle felted face which I have shaded , sculpted eye sockets and eye detailing. She has shaded faux cashmere paws..a poseable wobble neck joint and a black stitched nose.
I made her a cute linen set of dungarees in orange and beige check with a matching bow trimmed with orange rick rack.

Her adoption fee is £225 including UK postage , I have added £5 to European and Republic of Ireland addresses and an extra £10 for the rest of the world! Choose option including the correct postage to where you live from the drop down menu below. there are 3 options to choose from, UK, Europe and ROI, and Worldwide.

Any questions please email me!!

ICKLE PEACHES HAS NOW BEEN ADOPTED....HUGE THANKS!!

'TRULY' a pretty 'Nursery Bear' available

It was a serendipitous conversation I had when I called my lovely friendly mohair supplier and she said she had some very pretty blue fabric. Well any one who knows me will know I always say I tend to go for 'BEARY' colours...but I thought 'What the heck...may as well give it a go,' so when this piece of mohair turned up I was thoroughly inspired.

It reminded me so much of those old waterslide type transfers that used to be on babies cots in the 50s and 60s , those faded pastel colours that every babies nursery was full of.
So that got me thinking about the sort of bear that would sit in a nursery, just waiting for baby to grow up and play with it. But by that time other toys take over and the teddy still sits and waits.


So now I decided I would right that wrong and here is 'Truly'...my very first 'Nursery bear'.

He is 18 inches tall and has the sweetest face which has been scissored and shaded along with needle felting to create expressive eye detailing. He has a polished and shaded nose and shaded foot and paw pads which I sculpted for extra detailing..

I made a lovely floral collar from vintage velvet flowers which compliments him beautifully.

His adoption fee is £695 inclusing UK postage , to Europe add £10 and for worldwide shipping add £20. This is a lovely heavy bear!

TRULY BEAR has been ADOPTED..huge thanks!

Gorgeous Dante available now

I am proud to introduce DANTE!

This very special bear is almost 20 inches tall. He is a big cuddly bear made from wavy deliciously soft mohair in a deep, deep red. He has a black stitched nose and plum velvet sculpted paw pads, which I have hand shaded and sculpted.
He is one of those bears that is just so pretty and huggable and I think he is very special. She has needle felted eye detailing and is from a brand new pattern with a nod toward a traditional bear but with a comtemporary edge. I finished off his flamboyant look with a metallic tulle ruffle in red trimed with wide rickrick which echoes the waves of his deep red fur.
This bear would make a spectacular addition to any discerning hug and is available for immediate adoption.
His adoption fee is is £695 including UK shipping, shipping to the worldwide destinations is £15 extra and to all European and Republic of Ireland addresses is an extra £10.

Dante has been adopted! Huge thanks
