I have to pop in here and say that Tammy is one of my fellow teddy bear artists and makes the most wonderful bears and dogs! She is an amazing person who never let her disabilities hold her back. I know for a lot of you the prices seem unreal, but the amount of work involved in these soft sculptures is incredible. And the mohair is quite expensive as well. For the long mohair that is used in the yorkies, it runs $350 per yard. I make bears and yorkies as well for a living and even I wish I could afford one of hers. I have one of the first teddy bears she made and I cherish it. This is such an art that you really have to be a serious collector to appreciate it. And the fact that she does this with only one hand is another amazing story in itself. |
