Hi!  I'm Nancy Tillberg, the artist behind the creations that you see on this page. Teddy Bear Making is one of the greatest joys in my life and I've been making bear for over 14 years. Recently, I've also started creating dolls, as this seemed to be a natural creative progression for me. Very soon I will begin posting photos of the dolls that I have available on this web site.

In 1998, I appeared on national television as a guest on Sue Warden's Craft-Scapes. Shortly thereafter, my first book on bear making, "Teddy Bears with a Past" was published by Krause Publications. Book two,  '101 Bears to Make' was released in  2003.

When I'm not bear-making, I lead a busy life as a wife, mother of two and full time Police Officer with the City of Thunder Bay, in Ontario, Canada. I hold a psychology degree and a Certificate in Web Design. In my 'spare' time, I teach bear-making workshops in person and on-line. The EbearZ University, is where I post on-line workshops for creating dolls & teddy bears.

Among the awards I've won for my bears is a TOBY nomination for my clown teddy, 'Mulligan.' The best rewards however, are when my creations are adopted into new homes with owners that truly Luv them!
