Eileen Jackman, also known as 'E J Bears', from Hertfordshire, England.
Eileen has been making these adorable little creations since 1996. It was falling for a bear Eileen saw at a local craft show that inspired her to begin making bears for herself. The clothing for her bears, are made from the very finest of materials - silks, cottons and linen. We are delighted at Silly Bears to be stocking her beautiful bears and rabbits and were overwhelmed with our 'Spring Collection 2010'.
Eileen has created a selection of four traditional bears, and one rabbit based on the theme of 'Nautical', for our Spring Collection 2010.
Ruby is 4inches (10cm) and is made from vintage gold mohair, has black glass eyes, beige wool felt paw pads and black thread claws. Ruby has hand-applied face shaping and a very neat black embroidered nose. Ruby wears a beautiful hand-made ivory fine cotton romper suit, trimmed with buttons and a bow.
