\"\"Hi and thank you for stopping by!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

I’m Laura Lynn Morguelan, the designer and creator here at Teddies by Laura Lynn.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

I was born and raised in the Chicago area, but now live in the Bluegrass area of Kentucky (Lexington, KY) \u00a0I absolutely love it here! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was introduced into the world of artist teddy bears back in the late 90’s by one of my best friends. \u00a0I had no idea that teddy bears could be so incredible! \u00a0I loved how she incorporated teddy bears into her home decor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

After collecting for a few years, I learned that one of my favorite local artists was teaching classes. \u00a0I took one class and was immediately hooked! \u00a0It wasn’t long before I learned how to design my own patterns.\u00a0<\/span>I started selling my own bears in 2001.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

I create mostly One of a Kind bears, but sometimes will do a very small limited edition. \u00a0I love creating teddy bears, bunnies, dogs, cats and other “teddy friends”. \u00a0They range in size from 3 1\/2″ up to 14″.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of my bears are created out of mohair, but I will sometimes use some yummy luxury faux fur for a different type of look. \u00a0I have also recycled old mink and other types of fur into bears. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(I don’t use new pelts, I only recycle old coats.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Besides creating bears for this website, I also enjoy teaching others how to make teddy bears with videos my other website:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
