Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

The year is coming to an end and I have been so busy training for the annual dance show I was participating in that the bears went into hibernation for a while. The show was a great success and I just loved to perform with the Argentine Tango and West Coast Swing Team at the Juan Rando Dance Academy Annual Show.
For 2012 I will take it a bit slower with my bears and as I will be going back home to Switzerland for 6 weeks I will also be attending less shows. Nonetheless, there will still be workshops at my studio every second Sunday and I will be exhibiting in Sydney and Woodend/Melbourne. All my bears will also be available from my website any time.
I would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and the best for 2012 and thank you so much for all the support this past year.
I hope, I will hear from you soon.

Woodend Teddy Bear Show

Hello, my bears and I are looking forward to a few days of relaxation and shopping therapy in Melbourne before driving to Woodend for the Teddy Bear Show on Sunday, 30th October. My life is so hectic at the moment that I cannot wait for a few days off. I'm looking forward to catching up with traders and collectors. So, if you are coming to Woodend, make sure to say hello.

Brisbane Teddy Bear Fair

I've just finished the sewing the last bear for the Brisbane Teddy Bear Fair held at the Holiday Inn, Roma Street, Brisbane QLD / Australia on 18th September 2011 from 10am to 4pm.
My bears and I can't wait to board the plan next Saturday for Brisbane and hopefully will be able to catch-up with many of you.
There is still time to book for my workshop YumCha on 19th September at Kympatti Bears, Broadbeach Waters QLD. You'll find more details at http://www.durrerbears.com/catalog.php?item=149&ret=index.php. YumCha is a gorgeous bear to make wonderful techniques to be learned. I would love to have you in my class.

Introducing Sandi

I would like to introduce Sandi, my latest design. She is an OOAK in a series and so cute with her wobbly head. She fits comfortably into your palm and is a great addition to any bearhug. Sandi is now on my website for adoption.

Only 3 more weeks and I will be in Brisbane at the Teddy Bear Fair held at the Holiday Inn on 18th September. I'm also looking forward to teaching YumCha in my workshop on 19th September at Kympatti Bears Studio, Broadbeach Waters.

There are still some places for the workshop and I would love to have you there.

Introducing Lucy the raccoon

Due to popular demand I have created another raccoon. Even though these critters are an open edition, every one of them has slightly different markings. They measure 11cm and their tail is bendable to achieve different looks. More details are on my website. These raccoons adopt quickly so if Lucy is tugging on your heart strings, don't leave it too long.....

Introducing YumCha

I am proud to introduce YumCha to you! He is my workshop bear for 19th September at Kympatti Bears, Broadbeach Waters QLD. I had so much fun making this gorgeous panda, playing with new eyelids and a new technique to embroider noses showing nostrils.
You'll find more details on my website.
