| The back roads of New England hold many special treasures for those who venture down them. It might be a maple sugar house awaiting the first warmth of spring to bring sap, a little white church standing tall on a hillside, an old weathered barn in the middle of a corn field, a moose standing in the early morning mist. I live on one of those back roads and its scenes like these that inspire the critters I create.
I began making bears in late December 2000. I was designing my own bears within a year and by 2003 had published some of my patterns, and began participating in shows and teaching teddy bear making workshops. I also became a self-taught website designer with just enough knowledge to keep my site up and running! I started a bear club in 2004 for artists and collectors to gather once a month in my home and talk teds. We continue to grow and have a wonderful time together. The Back Road Bears vary from traditional or old time teds to colorful contemporary bears. Moose and bunnies are known to be wandering the back roads too� looking for new homes. All are made of Schulte mohair or alpaca, 5 way jointed, weighted with steel shot and filled with lots of love. Most creations are one of a kinds and all are full of character and charm. Won�t you come take a trip down the Back Roads and meet my bears and critters? Daphne |
