About Shantell Whitney:

My name is Shantell Whitney and I am the creator behind Apple Dumpling Bears. I'm new to the world of bear making but am completely hooked in all it's furry snuggly-ness.

I started making bears as a creative outlet. I've been a quilter for several years and needed to venture on another creative path. I love everything about the artistry of soft sculpture from designing a new creation to accessorizing each and every little one. It is so much fun watching their little personalities come to life sort of speak and to see parts of my own personality evolve in each one.

I'm a born and raised Oregonian and live in the Willamette Valley out in the country surrounded by beauty. I am the mother of three children -- two of which are grown and one still in high school.

Each Apple Dumpling Bear is made from the finest materials available and I take great care in bringing them to life. I pay special attention to the little details that go into creating a unique bear or critter. I'm constantly learning new techniques and fine tuning old ones. I'd like to thank all my new bear making friends and mentors for all their encouragement and sharing all their secrets...without them this wouldn't be possible. I hope that you will enjoy my Apple Dumpling Bears as much as I do.
