edenbears

I am featured with my exclusively designed bear named TITAN and his accompanying pattern in the June/July/August 2010 issue of leading German-based Teddy Bear magazine BarReport . . .

Hello, my name is Elaine, welcome to the edenbears website which tells you all about my bears, myself, and how my bears came to be!

Every edenbear I produce is designed by myself in every aspect from the initial hand-drawn pattern to the completed bear. I design and make around 12 bears in a year, preferring to create only when time allows my full attention to be devoted to creating my bears.
Each bear is made as a completely new design ensuring every one of them is unique and One Of A kind.
They are entirely hand-stitched in all stages of their creation using only the very best quality materials and threads. Every seam is sewn twice to ensure good strength and longevity of the bear.
My heart and soul goes into each bear I lovingly create with care, attention to detail and durability. I use good quality faux furs, antique velvets, vintage fabrics and quality mohairs.
All edenbears come with their own swing tag portraying their picture, name, date of birth and details of the components used in their creation.
They are fitted with superior quality black glass or coloured glass eyes, traditionally jointed with discs and pins and completed with embroidered nose and claw features. Most of my bears have a little hand shading on various features. Some bears are also fitted with a growler and are they are filled with combinations of the following:

First and foremost LOTS OF LOVE, then either / and / or:

    * Kapok (a natural fibre filling)

    * Mid to heavyweight polyester (modern synthetic fibre fillings)

    * Excelsior (fine wood shavings)

And for added weight / tactile qualities:

    * Plastic pellets

    * Steel shot

    * Tender feel rubber pellets

    * Steel balls

edenbears are not toys — they are intended as collectors / heirloom items.

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the components used in the making of my bears they are not suitable for children under 14 years of age.

MY BEARS ARE CREATED BY A NON-SMOKER (myself)
IN A COMPLETELY SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT (my home)
