I have two beautiful children, a 5-year-old boy, Hakon and a 16-month old girl, Kyra. I started making bears when I fell pregnant with my son 6 years ago. At that time it was very difficult to find bear making supplies in this country so I was forced to improvise with different fabrics and other materials. Three years ago, again pregnant !! I discovered a whole world of teddy bear making suppliers on the web and at the same time discovered a new little shop in Cape Town which stocked all my requirements and of course among this I discovered mohair and upholstery velvet.

I usually make bears ranging in size between 2" and 14" although I sometimes try my hand at tiny 1" bears (usually as accessories to my miniatures) and at other times I enjoy making 22" giants !! I love working in both mohair and upholstery velvet and I have great fun choosing my fabrics and making accessories for each individual bear.

I have always made my own patterns and most of my bears are one of a kind although sometimes I make small limited editions. Every bear is special and a lot of love and care goes into giving each of my creations its own distinct personality. I find the faces to be particularly important and each of my bears is extensively soft sculpted to create its special look.
