Most of my lovable creations are three inches high or smaller. Occasionally a creation may be larger. I use a variety of threads, fibers, and techniques in the creation of my miniature Teddy Bears and Bear Friends. I may offer a limited edition of a particular style, or a series of similar bears, but as each miniature collectible creation is handmade by me, no two will ever be exactly the same.
For my crocheted miniature Teddy Bears and Bear Friends, I use the very small sizes of crochet hooks to make the hundreds of tiny stitches that go into each lovable creation. Their sweet loving features are individually hand stitched with care. Gentle shading is added to enhance the individual personality. Each creation is filled with polyester or wool stuffing, and lots of love. Most of my crocheted creations are five-way jointed, with the head being disc and cotter pin jointed, to allow for creative positioning. Some of my creations are dressed, or have accessories. Some of the accessories are carefully shaped, then stiffened, to retain their unique shape.
My needle felted sculptures vary in size. I use a variety of different types of wool when creating my sculptures. Needle felting is a wonderful creative art form. The process of needle felting involves stabbing, or poking wool, with a special barbed felting needle over and over again. As you continue to stab the wool it compresses to the desired firmness and shape. Bits of wool are added, and the stabbing process is repeated, forming a firm base or core for the sculpture. As you continue to add and felt more bits of wool, your sculpture takes its desired form. Completing a needle felted wool sculpture can range in time from one day to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the desired results.
As my Princess4Paws Teddy Bears and Bear Friends are born, they are issued a signed detailed birth cirtificate (Certificate of Authenticity). They also receive their very own special Princess4Paws hang tag, with a tiny photo of the creation.
