About Bearlescent

Bearlescent

Beautifully detailed Heirloom Gifts & Unique Keepsakes designed for the Adult Collector.

I'm Debby, I live in a small village on the East Coast of Yorkshire and work full time as a Bear & Textile Artist. I have always loved to create and have tried many crafts but my passion has always been sewing in particular hand embroidery. I love Victorian and Heritage style and this influence can be seen in many of my pieces.
Primarily a bear artist, I began making bears to sell in 2014 whilst working for a steel fabrication company, in September of the same year my first spine operation failed and I was forced to retire from the clerical position I had enjoyed for 14 years. Not ready to accept retirement I registered Bearlescent and threw myself into full time bear making.
For the first few years I used every minute to work on hand embroidered bears then I hit a brick wall and basically needed a change so I began to introduce other hand embroidered items and although the majority of my creating time is still with the bears I once again enjoy designing and creating everything in my shop and feel hand embroidery ties all of my work together and has become my signature style. March 2023 and I have now created and found forever homes for 560 bears, a milestone that I never imagined possible.
My passion for hand embroidery encouraged me to design and create smaller embroidered gifts for Bearlescent, I thoroughly enjoy making them all but if I had to choose one item that I enjoy creating above all else it would be my embroidered garden pictures.
My head is always buzzing with the next project or idea and is as busy as my hands, I plan continuously scribbling notes and doodles for new ideas or ways to improve what I already do. I think by nature I am a workaholic and can usually be found stitching until midnight. I think I was born to create, someone reminded me recently it's in my blood and it chose me, it's what I'm meant to do.

I was thrilled to be chosen as one of Folksys featured makers during 2021, my Interview can be found on the Folksy Blog.if you would like to read it,
