Artist Teddy Bears by Sylvia Humphrey |
|
Hi, I am very pleased to welcome you to my website.
I design one of a kind, Collectible Teddy Bears for the most discerning of Collectors. They range in size from 12” to 24”. I mostly use mohair as it's so wonderful to work with and comes in a great variety of colors and textures and is perfect for teddy bears!!.
Paw pads are Merino Wool Felt, Ultra Suede or Vintage Linen. Eyes are always high quality German Glass. These come in many colors. Sometimes I handpaint clear glass eyes for a special effect or color.
Noses are embroidered with beautiful Perle Cotton in the traditional way though I sometimes needle-felt them if the occasion arises. For the filling I use Excelsior, Quality Polyfill and glass beads or copper bb's for a nice weight.
I have been making Teddy Bears for about six years and don't think I'll be stopping any time soon as I'm so addicted to the whole process and it's so fun!!
I would love to hear from you with any comments or questions you may have.
Hugs - Sylvia
