Mary Taylor has been involved with crafts all her life.  An accomplished  basket maker, after retirement she expanded her interest and skills to include doll making and teddy bears. 
The teddy bears were an instant success, both in terms of personal fulfillment and popularity with the public. Her bears are made of imported mohair with glass eyes and hand stitched detailing.
"Each bear seems to develop personality as it is created," says Mary.
