Frido ca. 38cm

For the eighth pattern we chose a design by Emma Bear´s.

Emma has been creating bears since the late 1990s, eventually selling her own unique designs under the incredibly original name of 'Emma's Bears'. At first the bears were just a hobby, but it was one that soon became addictive. Over the course of nearly 20 years of designing, Emma has produced a rather extensive collection of her unique hand-drawn teddy bear designs, some of which she has released for other bear makers to use.

This little bear is an adaptation of one of her very early designs, and would look wonderful in a wide variety of contrasting colours and fabrics. Emma and her husband Mark run 'Emma's Bears' and the sister store 'Fur Addiction' from their home in Queensland, Australia, producing one of a kind handmade teddy bears as well as unique hand-dyed fur fabrics, hand painted glass eyes and many more bear making items.
