Meet the Artist

Biographical Information  

I have been an avid Teddy Bear Collector since childhood. I have a fairly extensive Collection which includes Steiffs, Gund, Boyds, English Bears and many Artist's Bears.

In the early 1980's I owned a Teddy Bear Shop which I operated for 6 years. I'm new to The art of Teddy Bear Design. I find the design and creation tremendously rewarding.

Each bear is lovingly hand sewn from start to finish.

With the birth of our very first grandchild, Mason Alexander, I decided to branch out and make teddy bears for children.  They are made of synthetic teddy fur from Italy.  It washes beautifully and air dries quickly.  Each bear is stuffed with Polyfil, so it does not bunch up inside the bear.  I use plastic joints and plastic safety eyes.  As with anything, the bears are not indestructible.  So far though, I have received no complaints.

Affordable Handmade and Custom designed Teddy Bears by Teddy Bear Artist Donna Forgey. All bears are constructed with the highest quality German mohair or synthetic fur. The bears are numbered, hand signed by the artist and come with a special birth certificate. Click on a link to the left labeled, New Bears, New Plush, etc to view the bears. If you do not fall in love with a bear immediately, you may custom order a special cuddly lovable bear from the artist.
