Elanor Andrews a British bear and animal artist first started making bears after trying a bear making kit offered in a bear magazine back in 2002. Who would have know that one little bear making kit would have lead Elanor to designing and making award winning bears, mice and other animals.    Elanor has been nominated and won many awards in the UK ,Australia and USA  including a Golden Teddy nomination in 2010 for one of her mice. Besides designing and making bears and mice seven days a week she also volunteers at a local center for adults with learning disabilities. 

All of the knitted outfits Elanor's  bears and mice wear are created by her Mother who designs her own patterns for knitted bear and mice wear.
