We are Barbara-Ann Cunningham and Andy Cunningham and we make wild and wonderful one of a kind artist teddy bears, dragons and rabbits . They range in colour from traditional browns and greys to hand-dyed, colourful, wacky creations. We mainly use mohair but will occasionally use high quality faux fur (fake fur), most of the mohair is hand dyed by Barbara.
Here's a quick guide to the website.
If you would like to see the bears available for adoption please click on the picture below or the links to new bears on the left.
We can also supply your bears with our own gift tags, let us know if you would like one (or some) included with your bear. We have also made some Greeting Cards, some are colourful hand drawn creations and others feature photographs of our bears.
Our bears, rabbits and dragons are generally made using high quality German mohair, a lot of which I hand dye to create the vibrant colours I love so much. A few bears are made using exotic fabrics and faux fur more generally used in high fashion houses. Neither of us smoke, so the bears are made in a smoke free environment.
As well as making all the bears on show here, I am happy to undertake special commissions, if you have an idea put it down in writing in as much detail as possible and I'll do my best to turn it into a fluffy little creature for you. Also, if you have seen one of our bears in the past and for some reason missed it, we may still be able to make that bear, or something very similar, for you, just ask, however as we have been making bears since 1990 we can't always remember every one, we might need quite a few clues or better still a picture.
Apart from making artists teddy bears we can also help with teddy bear design workshops , hand dyed mohair supplies , teddy bear kits and also offer a web design service, please contact us for details. In April 2007 we took over Norbeary Fabrics from Ralph and Gloria Norbury, you can see our range of mohairs by clicking here which takes you to our new Norbeary fabrics website.
We are always working on new bears and other projects, so more pages and features are continually being added or updated, so please keep checking back. Our news page is regularly updated so if you want to see what's happening you could start there. Finally if you have any ideas or suggestions please let us have them, either about the bears or the website, we'd love to hear from you.
HAVE FUN!
Barbara and Andy
