Original Hand Made Bears By Christina Eustathiou

Hi my name is Christina. I have been a bear artist for just over five years now. My love of sewing and little stuffed things goes back to my childhood when I use to design and make clothes for my bears and dolls. You could probably say that I started as a ‘bunny’ artist as cuddly bunnies were my first dabble into the stuffed toy world.

As my expertise improved and I could churn out those bunnies faster than real bunnies could themselves, I looked to something a little more creative and challenging. After every display cabinet, window ledge and nook and cranny in my house was suitably displayed, I decided to look outside the square I live in!! I have a stall at the local market for three years now and I have just started to exhibit my bears in competitions.

I have been designing my own bears now for four years. And now I have bears living in Perth, Tassie and N.S.W.

I also would like to thank my family and friends for all there encouragement and support especially Angela Seguna of Box Wood Bears who has shown me the right roads to take.

Becoming part of the wonderful world of bears has really opened up a whole new world for me. As a new bear artist I look forward to sharing with you’re a little of the love and joy that we get from watching mohair, buttons and bows come to life before our very eyes.

Come back to visit with us again real soon. I would love you all to sign the guestbook and hear any comments you may have.

Lots of hugs
