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!
