Jane Woodard's Heir Bears - Handmade Heirloom Teddy bears

Heir Bears by Jane Woodard

Welcome to Bright Star's "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! I am Jane Woodard and I have been creating real fur bears and other critters, 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. You might also find a few mohair and faux fur creations which have been added 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 was also a winner of a highly coveted URSA Award for 2016.
