Handicrafts have always been my hobby. As a child I like to sew, sometimes secretly at night under the blanket, then I sewed clothes for me and my family.
I had already tried everything: Decupage, scrapbooking, window color, patchwork ...
By early 2009 I started bear making after my girlfriend told me enthusiastically about here first handcrafted bear. After a week my first teddy bear was born based on a pattern by Jemma Kadzh. He looked more like a Yeti, but I realized that I found what I was looking for so long.
Soon after, I attended courses by the famous bear artist Barbara Nachtigall,
followed by courses from Jutta Michels and Jemma Kadzh.
Ideas for my bears often come from what surrounds me, an interesting person or illustrations for children's books. I am fascinated that from only - a piece of cloth and cotton wool - a "Living character" is created. I want to awake a smile and goodness in people with my creations. I understand that it's an idealized goal. But is it not the sense of any creativity?
