Welcome

       

Brady Bears Studio is the home of antique & primitive style bears and other animals.

All of my pieces are made from my own patterns using high quality mohair. Vintage style fabrics and antique accessories are used to give each bear a distinct look.

Each piece is one of a kind. I always try to keep things fresh and new. I want each piece to be a unique addition to your collection.

You can always find my work on ebay, my Bear Blog, and updated the 1st of each month on the To Dwell in Primitive Thymes(TDIPT) mercantile website.




The upcoming theme for the mercantile will be Christmas in July. I'm working on a new bear and possibly a mixed media painting. I'm thinking it will have an Americana Christmas feel. That way it can be displayed not only at Christmas, but for all of the Patriotic holidays as well. Don't forget to check in on the 1st and see what I come up with!




Don't forget to send me an email if you would like to be on my mailing list. I will notify you when new pieces become available. I do not share my mailing list with 3rd parties.

Special News!!!

Yea, I'm so excited....I was just chosen for the 3rd year by Early American Life magazine as one of the top 200 Craftsmen in America....what an honor!


I was also nominated by Teddy Bear and Friends magazine for a TOBY(Teddy Bear of the Year) award for my artist vignette. All of the nominees work will be pictured in the August issue of the magazine. You can vote for you favorite by mail or online. So get out there and VOTE!
