The bears you will see here are all designed and made in Australia by Karyn Ford.
There are a mixture of quite traditional bears and rather unusual little characters. Many of my bears are made using my hand dyed mohair fabrics which I colour with cold water dyes. The bears range in size from about 14cm to 45cm (5½" to 18"). They are One of a Kind or very Limited Editions. These fully jointed teddy bears are collectable artist bears and are not suitable as toys for young children.
I also make some gollies as time and mood permits and have included some photos on the adopted page. The gollies are also fully jointed and are made using synthetic fabrics.
I hope you enjoy your visit here getting to know the bears and perhaps learning a little more about me in the artist profile. Don't forget to bookmark the website for your next check in as I will feature new creations throughout the year.
If you require more information about the bears (or gollies), I am happy to receive your email at karyn.ford@bigpond.com and will respond as soon as I can. Please enjoy meeting the bears and come back soon.
