I have taken great joy in sharing my craft with collectors across the globe for many years. Unfortunately I can only attend a few teddy bear shows in the UK so my bears will only be available direct from myself or via eBay . I do take special commisions so please feel free to email me using the link above with your requirements. |
| Please come back often , the bears love to be visited and if you would like to be advised of bears soon for adoption on eBay or when the website is updated then please contact me and I`ll add you to my mailing list. hugs for now Jane xxx |
| I have had the honour to have won several awards for my bears , especially my miniatures and fantasy bears which I love creating most of all and my bears have found new homes in all four corners of the Globe . My pandas are especially sought after little creatures ... just as well I love pandas too !! |
| Much time and attention to detail goes into the original design and creation of each little bearie , be they a miniature 2.5" or a wopping 11" , to create a little creature full of love and personality . All are created by my own hand using only the finest quality , traditional components and fabrics . Although I do seek a second quality control check from my partner Gary. I like my bears to be tactile and heavy so they are all weighted in their tummies and most times their feet . |
| Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and find out a little more about me and my bears. My name is Jane Mogford and I have been designing and creating my PIPKINS BEARS since 1998. I have collected bears for a long time , and much preferred my childhood bears to my dolls. I still have them today , they take pride of place in my collection . I also have a thing about faeries and elves and this shines through in my bears, following a visit to the fairy garden at Wookey Hole this year I have created my own little fairy garden! in Staffordshire , known as the creative county, in the heart of the UK. |

| My love of bears evolved into a love of creating in 1997. I found a local bear shop and bought my first artist bear and teddy magazine , soon I was visiting local shows and buying fabrics and patterns . I played around with the patterns and my first attempt was not good but very therapuetic . I was a frequent visitor to the shop and by the end of 1998 the lady who sold me my first artist bear was stocking bears designed and created all by myself. I loved it then and still love it now. |
