CheckoutYvonne Graubaek, also known as 'Hovvigs', from Nykoebing, Denmark.
Yvonne has been making these adorable creations for over fifteen years, since 1993. The inspiration for these cute but realistic looking bears, originates from her own adoration for real life bears. Her work is full of character, and meticulously stitched with great depth and imagination. Each creation is distinctive to Yvonne's own signature look. Her work is that of a true artist - innovative and original. We are especially pleased to be able to include Yvonne as one of our new European artists at Silly Bears, for 2010. A very talented lady!
Yvonne has created five stunning traditional style bears for our Winter Collection 2010. This collection demonstrates all the different sizes of bears created by this very talented artist.
