About Me

My photo
I am a teddy bear artist by profession. I also play rhythm guitar with a local bluegrass band on weekends that I am not off to teddy bear shows. I have a very funny papillon named PJ. He is 10 years old and he keeps me mobile by making me take him walking every day. I love antiquing and use many of my finds for my teddy bears. I am just starting to do mixed media artwork and collage. You can find some of my things my website:www.marthasbears.com

I am working on pieces for the upcoming Christmas Treasures online show (http://www.teddiesworldwide.com)  This is my preview piece.  Comfort and Joy
Comfort is the polar and Joy is the Penguin  
I also found a bunch of oil cans that will become pieces for my steampunk series of bears.  I love making the Steampunkers

TBAI Gallery Bear

This is my Bear for the TBAI Gallery. 
It is called Grandma's trunk.  My Grandma taught me to sew, to cook and bake and a little about many other things.  Just Imagine if I could talk with her today, when I am ready to really listen and learn.
