My name is Betty Schoenauer- Maurice.I am German and I live since 1995 in Normandy, France.
My favorite hobby is the creation of bears and dolls.I love creating and giving life with different types of fabrics, mohair and plush. Each one of my children makes me happyand each one is unique as I can't clone my works.
This passion appeared after my daughter Cindy's birth.
On top of my love I wanted to give her something personal, I had the idea of making her a "Doudou"out of my pyjamas,then a cloth doll, a teddy bear etc......
Encouraged by my friends and family, I started creatingmore and more "children".You will find a few photos enclosed.
Since then I have participated in different exhibitions.
I hope you'll appreciate your visit to my little world.
I design and create each of my bears with a lot of love.They all have a birth certificate and my initials areembroidered under one of their feet.
I always try to work with the best quality fabrics. Most of my bears are madeof "Schulte"- mohair, cashmere and suedine.Sometimes I use "Helmbold"- mohair and alpaca too.For the plush I pay a lot of attention to good quality and originality.Eyes are hand- painted glass or safety eyes.A few bears are colored with Air- brushing,which enables me to bring out some details, and give them even more life.Joints (always 5 or 6) are in cardboard, wood or fiber.Some bears have an armature integrated in their arms,so they are flexible all the way down to their paw pads.I use hypoallergenic fiber, cotton wool or mohair for stuffing.For a nice weight and posture I use steel, mineral,glasses b.b's or rubber.I make as many clothes myself as possibleand I pay great attention to details.
All my creations are not for children.
Thank you so very kindly for stopping by to meet my bears!
Cordially Betty Schoenauer- Maurice
