Hi!
I'm Nancy Tillberg, the artist behind the creations that you see on these pages.
Teddy Bear Making is one of the greatest joys
in my life and I've been making bear for 16 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, was released in November of 2003. '101 Bears to Make'
My goal in writing it was to put everything you need to know in one beautiful
book. Both books are now Out of Print by the publisher, although I have plans
for releasing '101 Bears to Make' in CD form in the future.
When I'm not bear-making, I lead a busy life as a wife, mother of two and
full time municipal employee. I am
currently working in Crime Scene Forensics. I
hold a psychology degree from the University of Windsor and Certificate in Web Design
from Confederation College. You can visit my web design studio at
www.timberlineweb.com
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!
I'm truly grateful for all of the blessings that God has showered on me and my
family! |
