Parker Bears - Handmade Miniature Artist Bears from Downunder

About Me

I have lived on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW, Australia all of my life. I have two children Dimity and Ben, two cheeky Grandsons, Connor(right) and Andre(left), and one gorgeous Aussie Bulldog called Boof(bottom Left)

After leaving school I attended TAFE attaining my Fashion Design Certificate which included Fine Needlework, Dress Making and Design, Tailoring and Millinery. I then went on to be a quality controller for a major lingerie Company.

Over the years I have made and taught just about every craft, finally settling exclusively on Bears 14 years ago. Many of my bears have been adopted into hugs in different countries all over the world, some having six or seven additions. However I tend to have a short attention span and become bored easily so my style has changed many times, from Large and Traditional to Modern to where I am now and intend to stay Miniatures (5" and under). I still can't settle on one style (too many ideas not enough years), although most of my bears do share one common trait, they have an Attitude Problem (or so I have been told).
