I live in Welshpool in Wales. I’m presently a part-time bear artist and I work part-time in the Charity Sector. I became a mum of 4 after marrying Rodney 7 years ago. (Between us we have four teenage children.) I have my family's full support in my creative pursuits, although they have their moments of complaining about pins and bear bits left in the couch!
My style is Constantly evolving. Looking back at some of my earlier bears, I feel I want to cringe when I look at them now. On the other hand I'm constantly amazed by the fact that irrespective of what a bear looks like, there is always someone willing to love them with all their heart. When I first developed my Wacky Walker Bear line there were only few Wacky bears around. The market is now quite saturated with these quirky characters and I still make the odd traditional bears.
Teddy Bears are actually very easy to make. Never be scared to ask for advice - there are no fixed rules and no right or wrong way to make a bear. Just try your hand at it and BEWARE! Once the bug bites there is no turning back, my friend!
