Lovey -porcelain faced mohair bear with set in dolls eyes -he is 11" tall -see website for details
My website is on Bearpile .com where you can see all my bears in the featured artists section under JOBEARS
Most of my bears have hand sculpted porcelain faces -I sculp a face using a modelling compound - a plaster mold is then made and porcelain is poured into the mold to form a cast. The cast is then cleaned and resculpted and fired to a temperature of 1200 degrees .Several more lower temperature firings are done to obtain the colours and delicate details to match the gorgeous German mohairs used to create the bodies.
I also makes the tradition bear using just mohair.
All my bears come from a smoke free home and come with a signed detail swing tag and either an embroidered Jo Bears on the foot or a label stitched into the back seam.
These bears are for collectors and not suitable for children.
All are completely original designs and pattern made by me .
I have been featured in several magazines including Teddy Bear International -Teddy Bear Times and Teddy Bear Scene.
I also have had the honour of designing two bears for Deans artist showcase.http://jobears.bearpile.com
