Welcome to our little corner of the internet. 'Emma's Bears' consist of a husband and wife team - Mark and Emma Nicholson - who create one of a kind collectable designer teddy bears. Emma's has been making bears since 1998, and designing her own patterns since 2000. All of her bears are painstakingly hand drawn, cut, pinned and sewn in the 'Emma's Bears Studio' (which is really our spare room/stud
His commissioning collector has named him ‘Sterling’ and he’s just darling!!
I do love it when a beautiful accessory is just a perfect fit for a custom bear.
It can often be a bit of challenge to find the right piece when working with more unusual teddy colours. So I can’t wait to show you guys the rest of this big handsome grey and teal boy!!

Our colourful Kit example bear is ready to say hi!
We’ve named her ‘Millie Sunset’ after the two gorgeous faux fur fabrics we’ve used to create her.
This beautiful bear herself, and a limited number of kits to make your own version of her, will be listed for sale at this time tomorrow- 2pm AEST Friday the 6th September on our www.FurAddiction.com website!
So begins the process of making our next Kit example bear!
This little cutie will be made in a mix of our ‘Summer Sunset’ tipped faux fur, paired with some of our newest arrived faux fur in deep pink! This pink/sunset colour combo is to die for - I can’t wait to show you the bear fully assembled!
The pattern we have used is a slight reduction of our ‘Free Design’ producing a petite 9” bear, which will make these limited edition kits very affordable and perfect for beginner bear makers.
More photos to follow tomorrow! 😉🩷🌅
Hey commissioning collector has named her ‘Lumi’. And isn’t she just so divine!! 😍
Just look at that face!!! 😍😍😍
Well hello there little cutie 🥰

‘Koda’ is now available for adoption: https://furaddictionstore.com/products/koda-7-mohair-artist-bear-by-emmas-bears-ooak
The commissioning collector has chosen ‘Knut’ (the fluffier bear) as her pick of these two tiny 7”handsome boys.
Which means darling ‘Koda’ will be available for general adoption at this time tomorrow: 8pm AEST Tuesday the 27th of August on our www.FurAddiction.com website.
Which one would you have chosen!?
Our next custom order request is for a tiny brown mohair bear, but I couldn’t decide which mohair would work best. So I made two! 🧸🧸
Once the commissioning collector has chosen her favourite, the remaining teddy will be available for general adoption! 🥳
Here they are! 😍
Now named ‘Teddy Diva’ and ‘Rainbow Dash’ by their commissioning collector. 🌸🌈
They’re both slightly different enlargements of our classic ‘Jonah’ bear design - which gives them a more traditional teddy shape with much more modern colouring!
(Our original Jonah design is available for purchase on our website if you’d like to work with it yourself as well: https://furaddictionstore.com/products/pattern-14-old-style-jonas-bear)
Such gorgeous soft colours on this bear! I do love it when a custom ordered vision turns out so nicely!!
The second bear in our current custom ordered pair is being made in our long pile alpaca. She is looking lovely with her lilac nose.
This guy *needed* the most glorious turquoise nose to compliment his gorgeous hand-dyed mohair!
Just the most beautiful pastel rainbow teddy head, waiting for his face to emerge! 😍
Our next two custom orders are going to be pretty colourful!! 🌈😍
*** ALL THREE BEARS NOW SOLD
We named this gorgeous vibrant green girl ‘Willowlime’ and she’s now available for adoption, along with her two little siblings shown in our last post 😍💚💜
https://furaddictionstore.com/collections/artist-bears
Here’s our finished trio!!
We’ll have them listed for general adoption on our www.FurAddiction.com website at this time tomorrow- 8pm AEST Monday the 12th August.
Now to give them some appropriately gorgeous names! 😍
And this is the third cutie patootie in our current trio of bears that will be available for general adoption shortly.
She is made in a gorgeous hand-dyed multi-tonal lilac purple mohair with hints of ivory white. And a gorgeous big matching hand-embroidered Emma’s Bears nose!
We hope to be able to share the finished photos of all three bears tomorrow, and they’ll likely be listed for sale early next week! 🌸
Inspired by the gorgeous Tibouchina tree currently in full bloom that we planted outside my studio window, here we have the second of our upcoming general adoption bears in a glorious green and purple mix! 💚💜
It has been a minute since we had a batch of general adoption bears available!
We’ve been quite busy working through the custom order list (we’ve gotten the wait time down to around 10 months for orders placed now too!).
So we decided it was time to offer a sneaky trio of general adoption bears before we move on to the next batch of custom orders. And what better colour to work with than this deliciously happy bright lime green!! (With some hints of lilac in the background there 😉).
Our custom ordered duo are done!
Their new mum has named them ‘Heather Lily’ and ‘Moonlight Jet’. And didn’t they just turn out so nicely!! 😍
And this little handful of fluff is the second of the two current custom bears. He’s a petite 8” tall, and just too cute!!
How much more alert and *alive* does she look now!?
I never tire of bringing these bears into existence! What a privilege 😍
Another absolute cutie in the works!
This lovely lady is part of an upcoming custom ordered teddy pair. 💜🖤
*** Now SOLD!
‘Flutterby’ is now available for adoption.
https://furaddictionstore.com/products/flutterby-15-rainbow-faux-fur-artist-bear-by-emmas-bears-ooak
Here they are!!! And aren’t they just the sweetest little pair!
The commissioning collector has chosen the bear with the green nose and unicorn paws (and named her ‘Fable’), which means her butterfly-themed friend will be available for general adoption.
We will list her at this time tomorrow morning - 9:30am AEST Saturday the 27th July on our www.FurAddiction.com website.
What should the butterfly bear be named?
And the rainbow nose belonging to our second current custom bear in the works.
I’m loving the pops of green on this one! 🌈💚🌸
The commissioning collector of our current project bears requested multi-coloured noses to match the rainbow faux fur we’ll be using on their limbs!
How pretty are these colours 😍
