Beginning as a small
antique shop in rural Boyds, Maryland way back in the disco and bell-bottom days
of 1979; Boyds Collection Ltd.® has been making folks laugh and sigh for
over 25 years! Today, we're a small bunch of slightly off-center, fun folks
working hard (or is that hardly working?) not real far from where we began, near
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to bring you whimsically
unique teddy bears,
floppy-eared hares and other friends in the true, old-world teddy making
tradition.
As Boyd's Bears grew, we recognized folks' need for affordable giftware items
and nifty stuff to decorate the home. Today the line has grown to include
everything from dressed to bean-filled bears and friends to figurines,
accessories, pottery, home decor and much more! With skilled hands and a bit of
magic, our master bear crafters bring each Boyds piece to life using only the
finest quality materials creating (if we do say so ourselves) fantastic gifts
for all occasions. From birthdays and special occasions, to home decorating and
those everyday moments when folks simply need a bear hug and a smile...the Folks
at Boyds have you covered!
But in the end, what really makes a Boyds Bear or friend special is someone
special...like you...who will give it lots of love,
plenty of bear hugs and
share in life's fun and adventures for many years to come! |
About the Artist
- Jim Shore
The
Inspiration...
As a young boy growing up in rural South Carolina, Jim Shore
spent many hours with his grandmother,
a master quilter,
gaining an appreciation for what would later become his
passion. His early fascination of design and color found in
classic
American quilts has led him to become one of today's
premier folks artists. The Jim Shore Teddy Bear Collection combines his truly
unique and inspirational use of color and folk art imagery with a
collection based on his very own "much loved" boyhood teddy
bear. Randomly placed patterns found on every creation not
only add character and personality, but also assure that
each teddy bear is a true one-of-a-kind creation.
The
Teddy Bears...
Inspired by his very own boyhood teddy bear, Jim was
instrumental in the design and construction of each bear in
the Collection.
Each bear features button fastened arms and legs, antique
felt covered eye, head sewn nose and mouth,
fully jointed
head and neck.
A special distressed plush was chosen to give each bear a
worn and much loved look. Floppy arms and legs add to the
antique look by the sparse use of poly-filing in the top and
bottom of the arms and legs and extra beans in the bottom of
each. All bears in the collection showcase Jim's original
works of art. A custom fabric and printing process assures
the integrity of Jim Shore's original artwork is replicated
on each and every creation with special attention to color
and detail. No Two Alike! A combination of
randomly placed patterns with carefully placed scenes and
designs tell a visual story. This unique design element
makes each bear in the collection a one-of-a-kind
keepsake. |

placed scenes...all from the talented hand of Jim Shore |
