Welcome to Dandelion Bears! Every little creature is 100% stitched by hand and made of top quality materials. Each Dandelion Bear is one of a kind and I also love making unique custom orders. Nothing makes me happier than making my critters..and seeing them go off to their new homes! Before making bears I was a jewellery designer, but then fell completely in love with teddy bears!!
I try to post orders within 48 hours. Every parcel is sent via tracked shipping so your Dandelion Bear reaches you safely. Please message me if you have any questions.
At the moment I am not taking custom orders. This is because I am spending time exploring my creativity. I hope you understand ❤
I am very proud to have been a featured artist in Teddy Bear Times magazine.
Happy Dandelion Wishes!

Review:
'I wish you all could see Traceyann Papworths work in person. She created this beautiful pup for me from a picture of my beautiful chihuahua and it is amazing. From day one of contacting her it was such a fun experience sending her pictures and waiting to see her drawings then once the pup started coming together she would send pictures along the way of her coming together. Every time I had a message on my phone from her I couldn't wait with excitement to open it and see what she had sent me. She put so much detail and love into making her for me...right down to her little tongue sticking out lol. I still sit in amazement and just look at her and can't believe how perfect and real she looks. And Traceyann even puts the most special care in how they travel to you. The whole experience was just amazing and I could not be more pleased with my beautiful pup River Rain....but also glad to have made a good friend all the way across the country. Traceyann thank you again so very much. From Amy and River Rain in NC' ❤

5 out of 5 starsBrun is ABSOLUTELY in Love❤️ with Scamp! Brun is painfully shy and Scamp has really brought her out of her shell. He is so adorable and so well behaved that we are excited to announce that we will be purchasing him a sister. You just can't have too many of these adorable and lovingly made fur babies!

I am Traceyann and I have made things for as long as I can remember from painting portraits twenty years ago to silversmithing, but in 2016 I bought a teddy bear kit and now I am addicted to designing my own little critters!
