WELCOME! My name is Pam Pontious. I live with my husband and two crazy cats in the beautiful Pacific Northwest corner of the United States. I have been designing and making bears and other strange critters professionally for 30 years. My mother taught me to sew as soon as I could hold a needle. My favorite projects were stuffed animals. Attendance at a Seattle Teddy Bear event in 1986 introduced me to the wonders of mohair and other European plush fabrics.
My characters include bears, chickens, rabbits, fantasy birds and mammals, rats, mice, lions, cats, pandas, gollies. My styles include steampunk, modern, realistic, and fantasy. I use top quality imported European mohair and plush fabrics, vintage lap robes, fantasy fabrics, etc. Most of my creations are jointed 5 ways; stuffed with polyester, glass and plastic beads; contain one or more armatures. Through my artistry I attempt to make people smile. Hence, my critters don’t take themselves too seriously. There is always room for laughter. |
