 Welcome to The Bear Menagerie, home of Debbi Henretty's original design mohair teddy bears and friends!

 

Visit Debbi Henretty's delightful teddy bears and their friends!   You're here! Visit the unique, one-of-a-kind needle felted teddy bears and friends by Debbi Henrerry   Visit the Fine Sterling Teddy Bear Jewelry Studio

Welcome to the Needle-Felted Teddy Bear Studio.  You may be asked, "What is a needle-felted teddy bear?" The process begins with wool, a barb needle, and lots of creativity. No patterns, no sewing machines, not even a needle and thread! I begin with a very basic shape and add a few fibers here, a few fibers there, securing them using a felting needle. After several days and thousands of pokes and prods, I have a wonderful, one-of-a-kind teddy bear (or dog or rabbit or whatever). It is really "soft-sculpting" in it's truest form!

 The February 2004 issue of Teddy Bear and Friends focused on the art of needle-felting. It was my great honor and delight to have one of my teddy bear creations featured on the cover. To see some of the other bears featured, simply click the photo to the right!
