Hello, my name
is Jean Grogan and I have been creating miniature bears for the past 9 years. My
first and only much loved childhood bear went missing during a house move some
20 years ago. Perhaps it was with him in mind that I began making 'old bears'. I
find that each one seems to take on an identity of his/her own and I never tire
of making them.
I suppose you could say that my bears never look
pristine!! I much prefer the well loved bears full of character
I have many different styles of
bears, traditional, cute, doglike bear and 'Fat Head' bears and am constantly
thinking of new styles. They all, however, have that 'much loved' feel to
them. Please look in my gallery of bears to see past
creations. I make bears 7 days a week and almost in my sleep so there are always
new bears going on the site! Please add me to your favourites or join my mailing
list
All my bears are hand made using the best quality materials
including mohair, alpaca, and vintage upholstery velvet . I have become
quite obsessed with sourcing out vintage fabrics and love using them to make
different bears They are all fully jointed and are weighted with steel shot.
Each bear comes with a sewn in label saying Little Scruffs.
