I'm an artist, from Norway, and I have been making teddybears for many years. I design a bear, and create the patterns that I need. Then I make the teddybear. Miniature bears I'm sewing all by hand. The bigger teddybear I use sewing machine also. All the clothes and scarf I do by hand. I love working with teddybears, and I have to admit, they take all time during the days. Sometimes I make a doll , or paint a painting, draw a picture or illustrate a book.
