Discover the magic of my unique handmade Artist Bears that are crafted with love and care.
Welcome to my page for the BearHugs4
Christmas in July Show 2025
As an Australian living in Germany for 6 years, i find inspiration from art, nature, movies I love, places I have been fortunate enough to visit and people who have inspired me. All my creations are hand sewn and each stitch comes from the heart.
I use a variety of fabrics including, mohair, viscose, mini bear fur and ultra suede. All my bears are made from my own patterns, fully jointed with cotter pins and discs and filled with cotton fill and mineral granulate.
Available for adoption
Every adoption at this show receives a special hand made gift in gratitude. 🎁

Isn't it rich
Aren't we a pair

Where are the clowns?

In bursts of joy, they leap and bound,
Their laughter echoes all around.
With playful paws and sparkling eyes,
They twirl and dance beneath the skies.
The bamboo bends in soft ballet,
As pandas find their light-hearted way.
In every playful roll and spin,
A joyful heart resides within.
