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
