TBAAF - Purchase Directly From International Bear and Doll Artists

My name is Susanne Donaj and I'm 55 years old, married, have a wonderful daughter and 2 cats.

More than 39 years I have been creating bears. My first bear I made with 15 years as a present for a friend. But in the 70tys it was very difficult to find the right material. So I had to use a piece of fur from my mums furecoat. The result was an angry mum and a dog-looking bear. But my friend loved him very much and bear-dog is still alive.

All my bears are made with lots of love and from a wonderful high-quality German Schulte Mohair or from English/American faux fur. Each little bear is designed and sewn by me, also like the clothes they wear. I spend many hours on each bear from the idea to the result, but I love it to see how every bear brings out his own unique "bearsonality" during this cerative process.

My aim is to bring a smile to your face and a warm feeling at your heart and so with every little guy who is leaving my home a piece of my heart comes to you.
