CheckoutDaniela Melse, also known as 'Dany Baren', from Berlin, Germany.
Dany has been making these stunning traditional bears for over 18 years, since 1991. Dany has a unique gift for capturing the spirit of well-loved early German bears in her work. Every creation made by Dany is full of character, and meticulously stitched with great depth and imagination. Her work is that of a true artist - innovative and original. There is no doubting Dany's ability to produce outstanding bears, time and time again. We are especially pleased to be able to include Dany as one of our new European artists at Silly Bears, for 2010. A very talented lady!
Dany 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 - SOLD OUT.
