About The Artist
Capt*n Ron and I, his 1st Mate… Kristy, have been collecting Bears for nearly 2 decades. Little did I know… that he harbored a secret desire all those years to actually make and create them himself from scratch? Imagine my surprise when one day, out of the blue… he said: ‘I’d like to make my own mohair bear… I think I can do it! Since we have always been a ‘team‘ as collectors… I was more than excited to take on a new adventure & help in anyway I could. Through the help of our Bear Buddies in the business, they encouraged Ron to follow that dream. So in 2002, he took the plunge and made his very 1st Bear…. and the rest as they say, is History! |

There is no doubt that he gets his talent from his mother Eldena, who was a very gifted Artist & Painter, from canvas, sculpture, to Paper mache’. I only wish she could have lived long enough to see his wonderful Bears. I know that she would be so proud to know her talents were passed on to him. He has poured his heart and soul into his bears and it shows. Many think that I do the sewing, but I assure you it is all Capt*n. Being an engineer by trade, he’s a natural ‘bear surgeon’. My job has always been his trusted assistant; learning from the 'master'. In 2008, I finally took the pludge and designed our newest Skinny bear. We have become a true husband and wife team in collaborating our ideas & creations. In Jan. of 2010, We were honored with our very 1st TOBY Industries Choice Award for:
