Amélie


It surprises me how exactly the same pattern can make very different looking bears!

Amélie was made with the same pattern as Sophie, but she looks a lot more petite than Sophie :)

I tried to add her some antique-like features.
I think it worked well for her.

Sophie

My ultimate goal is to make antique-style bears (but not exactly the same style as antique, still somehow modern).

I've been changing my bear's pattern every time I make a new one and I think it's finally settled for now.

I'm happy with how Sophie's come out. She has many cute characters x

"Sophie is a girl who lives in countryside. Today she is picking strawberries since her mum is making a strawberry tart for her visitors."

Michelle


I struggled so much to finish Michelle.

I was trying to change my pattern into something more ideal, and she was born during my try & error attempts.


As a result, I'm happy with what I've done. She has this little shy face and the delicate laces add vulnerable look on her.


Now she should be arriving somewhere in America :)



"Michelle is a shy girl. She loves the laces she was given from her grandma and always wears them."

Thomas


Thomas is made of really nice mohair, it gives him a bit of vintage look.


I have a collection of mohair samples from a German supplier but it's still hard to pick the right ones for the look I want.

Stella


I made her after I had 1 month holiday in Tokyo.
Although it was nice spending time there seeing my friends and shopping, I missed making teddy bears a little.

So I was full of inspiration making Stella :)
She is the joy of spring... little flowers and leaves showing up from the ground after the snow melts.


"Stella is a girl who loves spring. She is waiting for the signs of spring to appear."

Susie


I probably had the most affection for her because she was my first bear I used my original pattern with, yet she was sold within 24 hours after I added her to my shop!

So I kind of still miss her... I hope she's doing well in Australia :)



"Susie is a girl who loves walking in woods. Her best friend is the little bambi on her chest."
