Welcome to Bright
Star's "The Spring 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.
