| My dear Teddy Bear All processes of making stuffed animals in the shpe of "bear" start from one piece of cloth. Thoughout each stepof the process, I can't help feeling that the cloth is becoming something like "living character". I don't conciously make them. They are simply born. I enjoy expressing myself through the Teddy Bear,making it form various kinds of materials.I want to continue making Teddy Bears throughout my whole life while to introducing everyone to the delightful process of making them.
