Heir Bears by Jane Woodard

                                 


     Welcome to Bright Star's "The Fall Stars" Teddy Bear Artist Online Show! 

About the Artist:  Please visit all the Heir Bears who came to this special event just to meet you!  Many are One-of-a-Kind creations.  I am Jane Woodard and I have been creating real fur bears, using recycled furs, since 1999.  My fur bears are heirloom quality, fully lined with a cotton fabric to stabilize and reinforce the fur.  They are created to ensure you can pass them on to your children and grandchildren. Recently I have added a few mohair and faux fur creations to the den. 

I have been featured in articles in Teddy Bear Review (including on the cover) Teddy Bear and Friends and most recently Teddy Bear Times magazines.   I am also a recent winner of the highly coveted URSA Award for 2016. 

Please visit my website for more information about Heir Bears.

"PATSY"

"Patsy" is a mohair bear designed and sewn by fellow artist, Cathy Swieckowski.  Cathy passed away two years ago before she could finish it.  I recently met Cathy's husband and I promised him I would finish several of the bears Cathy started and left behind.

"Patsy" is 10" tall, made from a cinnamon brown sparse mohair fabric.  She is fully jointed and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.  She has matching brown suedecloth paw pads, vintage black shoebutton eyes, and a hand-embroidered dark brown Perle cotton nose. 

Cathy liked to use vintage accessories with her bears, so "Patsy" wears a vintage cream-colored silky ribbon tied in a bow around her neck.  She comes with a removable hang tag.
