My name is Jane, I have been designing and creating my PIPKINS BEARS since 1998. I have collected bears for a long time , and much preferred my childhood bears to my dolls. I still have them today , they take pride of place in my collection .
I have had the honour to have won several awards for my bears , especially my miniatures and fantasy bears which
I love creating most of all and my bears have found new homes in all four corners of the Globe . My pandas are especially sought after little creatures ... just as well I love pandas too !!
Much time and attention to detail goes into the original design and creation of each little bearie , be they a miniature 2.5" or a wopping 11" , to create a little creature full of love and personality . All are created by my own hand using only the finest quality , traditional components and fabrics .
Although I do seek a second quality control check from my partner Gary.
I like my bears to be tactile and heavy so they are all weighted in their tummies and most times their feet .
NEW FOR 2009
I have been asked on several occasions by budding bear makers if I sell my patterns.
Well now after 9 months hard work and determination
I have written a basic teddy bear making course, created with the Novice bear maker in mind!
Basic bear Making Hints & Tips is now available
and there are also three new teddy bear patterns available
with more coming soon !
