Welcome to the beginning of our new Down to the Woods Collection! I've always had a fondness for bears and it's a long held dream to see some in the wild.

Why 'Down to the Woods'? - well do you remember the old Teddy Bear's Picnic song? The Bear himself doesn't have a name yet, and whilst I can't promise a gathering of 'every bear that ever there was' - I suspect one or two more may join him!

So far the Bear is featuring as a placement print on cushions, clocks, greeting cards, mugs and coasters. Meanwhile some of his friends await further work in my sketchbook, so watch this space.

He is also available as a cotton apron - made to order - please email jeanette@freshmadedesigns.co.uk if you would like one
