Welcome to the Jenni Bears website, the home of the bears with a heart !

 We are Jean and Pete Lindley and between us we make Jenni BearsThey are all one of a kind artist bears, mostly made in mohair but we're not adverse to using alpaca or the Sassy range of fabrics (very occasionally) when we see it.

 

Apart from a red heart sewn on the bear (hence "The bear with a heart" tag), the only thing that Jenni Bears have in common is that they have nothing in common! I don't think I have a definite style - they are all individuals. Born in my head from the moment I see the mohair hanging seductively from the rails at the shows or wake up at 3am thinking "that would be a good idea for a bear"! They are all unique. I only make one of a kind bears. Apart from them having their own character, I will never use the same combination of materials to make the same bear.

They decide whether they want to be "normal" or wacky, or little or large (4" is the about the smallest up to 18" though I do have ambitions for a 24"+ giant bear) Their colours are just as varied, from "proper" bear colours as Pete describes them, (though he is learning) to flamboyant hand dyed material. They are all made of the best quality fabrics - Awesome Alpacas: Marvellous Mohairs; Cuddlesome Cashmeres: Unbelievable Ultrasuede..... I'm sure you get the picture!

 Well if you are still here and haven't got bored yet - do go on and enjoy the bears. If you need any more information - drop me a line or give me a ring. Please feel free to add a coment in the guest book. All comments are welcome - but remember, we put a great deal of work into our bears, so if you have a criticism please make it constructive!

Tiresome legal notice

These are Collectors bears, made in the old fashioned way, with small parts etc etc which makes them unsuitable for little people under 14!! They can be bought as a special gift to sit on the shelf but they are NOT toys.
