I have started early to make small bears, but I did not know how to make miniatures, as in Germany there was no literature about this and no special material availiable. So I tried to make my bears a little bit smaller every time and learned by trial and error how to make miniatures.In Spring 1995 I published my first selfmade book "Großer Spass mit kleinen Bären" (Big fun with small bears - tricks and hints for making four different bears from 6 to 15 cm), which was quite a success and made me finally write "A bear of my own" in which I have discussed different ways of making miniatures.

n November 1998 I started my miniature-line of realistic bears. My first attempt was this American black bear made of viscose and 2¼" (6 cm) tall, shoulder height 1". He was sent to the US and photographed for the Tiny Teds - Issue of Teddybear and friend®. | |

In summer 1999 I made another version
of "The wind in the willows", this time miniature size (2").
