Award Winning Artist Bears and Friends by Michele Freeman
Award Winning Artist Bears and Friends by Michele Freeman
My name is Michele Freeman (my nickname is Shelly). I have a background in Industrial Design and Industrial Engineering. I create one of a kind hand crafted bears and friends and each is made from my own patterns and they are all finished by me from nose to paw tips. I will make limited edition of simpler bears but with all of them I put in care, love, and attention to the finish and detail. A huge amount of time and effort goes into the creation of my high quality unique creations. My bears and friends are meant for collectors and not for children. I can be contacted via email on shellyfreeman71@gmail.com. I have won several awards for my bears: A 2019 Beverly Port award for Bear Making Excellence; a 2017, 2018 and 2019 TOBY for Industry Choice and the 2017 Public's Choice TOBY award. I have also won an ITBAA First Place in the category (International Teddy Bear Artist Award) for my pirate bear in 2015 and an acknowledgement of Excellence in 2018 for the Bristol Bear Awards. My bears and friends have been published in both the Teddy Bear Times magazine, Teddy Bear and Friends magazine and Bears and Buds online Magazine. I am thrilled to add that my Bunny won first place in the bunny category of the URSA Teddy Awards 2021. I achieved a blue ribbon and best of show for my dog soft sculpture in the State Fair of Texas 2020, and an honorable mention for a dog soft sculpture and third place for my dressed bear in 2021.
**I will ship all packages after the show has closed! Thank you
Due to current restrictions I will only be selling and shipping within the USA only**
