Artist Profile

Nancy Dane and Bentley Edward Bear

In 1986 I made my first bear Bentley.  All the bears that followed are his buddies.  From the beginning each bear has had a hand-stitched leather nose which helps bring out its unique personality.  My husband, Doug, helps make each bear.  We use only the finest fabrics to make our bears.  We travel around the country doing Teddy Bear events and other arts and crafts shows.
