Hello! I have been a teddy bear artist for almost 25 years working for various well known shops. This year I have decided to launch out on my own under the name AliJayne Creations. I have always been fascinated by things old and vintage, and this is the reason I have chosen to create my bears with an aged and gently loved look. I like to use the materials that the original teddy makers would have used and replicate the passage of time in creating my bears ...whether it be the bald spot on the forehead that many childish kisses have loved away, or the sparse patch on the tummy and worn pads. I also like to give them some weight so that they nestle comfortingly in your hands like an old friend!
