Why do I make and love bears?
During my pregnancy of over fourteen years ago, I was searching for a very
special teddy for my child and thereby became involved in the "bear-scene"
more or less by chance.
Due to this inspiration. I decided to make this special
teddy myself, without
further ado. Although he looks like a "Quasimodo", immediately after this first attempt I was "infected" by
the "bear-virus" to such an extent that I now classify myself as
"incurable"!
My absolute love is for the simple, classical bear with a trusting, slightly
squinting (but not dumblooking) facial expression.
Wy "Oz"?
"Oz" is a fantasy- or dreamland, which is described
entirely in
the famous fairytale "Wizard of Oz".
Similarly, my bears are developed from my dreams and imagination!
Although I use only exlusive materials of the finest quality for my creations,
they are nevertheless intended not only for the collector but above all for
people, who in these hectic times, harbour a child's desire in their heart for
a "soulmate". This teddy should accompany you throughout your life and
hence my high demands of standards and quality of workmanship.
All my teddy bear's are designed and lovingly handcrafted by myself. Their fur is
made of valuable mohair, which is made from the wool of the Angora goat. This is
the oldest, most valued and most natural material for the production of "soft
toys".
They are fitted with "Lauscha" hand-blown glass eyes and have
traditional cardbord joints fastened with metal pins, which guarantee a
particularily long life.
As long as the size of my bears allow, they are fitted with growlers. The
filling is of either lambswool; wool mixed with glass, steel or mineral
granulate or for special orders wood shavings.
As for thet teddy bear's attire, this, like any accessories, is naturally developed
and individually stylized by me.
I would hope that it is self-evident that each of my
creations is a unique
article. Only very few styles do I produce in numbers, limited to a maximum of
ten.
As testimony of this exclusivity each and every bear comes with
its own certificate of authenticity.
Yours Sabine Jurzyk
