Madeline and Atlantis


This little lady is Matilda. She was made during the previous week as a table piece for the Winter Wonderland Doll and Bear show we attended on the weekend just gone. She is 16" tall, made using our 'Lyric' pattern and our 'English Rose' and 'Ace of Spades' faux fur.

She is a one of a kind artist Panda Bear as made by Emma's Bears, but we do also have a kit available for her if you'd like to have a go at bear making yourself. I would consider her kit as an intermediate skill-level one though, as this curly pink fur can require a bit of patience to work with!

If you'd like to take home the original Madeline, you can find all of her details on our website.







We also whipped up this funky little guy. His name is Atlantis and he is made from our 'Atlantis' newly imported long pile turquoise faux fur mixed with our curly white mongolian faux fur 'Blanc de blanc'. We used our 'Happy' pattern to create this bear and as such have a kit available for him as well if you'd like to try making a really fluffy teddy!

Winter Wonderland Brisbane Doll and Bear show... and a new baby bear



We attended our first Winter Wonderland Doll and Bear show on the weekend just gone. We've visited as customers before, but never as traders. It was a fun experience, but also an exhausting one! 

During the previous week we were busy making some new bears to debut at the show. One of them is this little guy below. We called him 'Baby Caden Jack'



Name: Caden Jack
Born: 5/06/15 
Time: 4:19pm
Weight: 4lb 6oz
Length: 18"






Caden is now available for adoption in our etsy store. We have one more baby bear to complete in this amazing mohair, but we're thinking that one will be a little girl. So if you're more partial to the little men you might want to consider adopting a small bundle of cuddly mohair baby goodness!

Cherry Blossom


This little sweetie is 'Cherry Blossom'. She is a petite 11" tall and made from two of our hand-dyed mohair pieces paired together. I love how girly she ended up! (I suppose it would have been hard to make her boyish in those colours though!).

She looks out through a pair of our hand-painted glass eyes and wears a big glass lampwork heart pendant around her neck. I'm getting so low on pendants, charms and necklaces now though, that it may be time to go shopping again! That has got to be one of my most favourite aspects of bear-making - besides choosing the fur! Shopping for teddy bear jewelry is FUN!

This little lady has been adopted already, but if you wanted to browse our currently available bears then feel free to check out our website. We'll also be trading at the Brisbane Winter Wonderland bear show next weekend (it's at the Table Tennis Centre in Windsor - so nice and easy to get to), so if you'd like to come and meet one of the bears in person you're most welcome.

Pigs and bears


This little cutie patootie is a little custom pig we just completed today. This little one is already adopted, but we do have the kit available. 





We also completed this very cute custom alpaca bear, hand-dyed in a custom citrine colouring with darker extremities. This one has been called 'Jin' by her new mum (which means 'gold' in Chinese).




And this little sweetheart is 'Adora'. Made in a stunning dense curly ginger mohair. She has tiny little hand pulled fingers and toes hidden under all those curls! She too is adopted :)

Lyra-Love



'Lyra-Love' is our newest bear. A big, chunky, cuddly 19" tall and made from two stunning pieces of mohair. She's quite a unique big bear, and distinctively 'Emma's Bears'. She is currently available in our store.

some new custom creations






We were asked to create a custom possum creation recently. These little guys (see below for an actual photo) are quite common in our local area of south east queensland. So I found some appropriately coloured faux fur, whipped up a new design and the cutie looking back at you in the above four photos was the result :)






We also finished off a new rainbow custom teddy - this time with a black nose and minimal green colouring. Her new mum was happy :)



And this little critter was another custom order - designed to look like the commissioning collector's little pet who had passed away (see below).
