About me & my creations!!
My
name is Eiman Alawi, I'm from UAE (United Arab
Emirates). I live now
in Kuwait , I'm a proud mother of 2 Kids ; my daughter "Lulua (14
years old, 9th grade)" & my son "Abdul Aziz (13 years old,
8th grade)".I was born in a talented artistic family , so since I was a little girl , I have this passion for art and craft although my major study was Science and then Medicine (in UK & Ireland) .. and I have various hobbies, like reading
different kind of
books (anything from art,psycology, self improvement, beauty, fitness,cooking
to gardening),I also love house decorating, love to paint and draw all
the time which now I'm teaching my kids to develope this artistic interest
, I do web &
digital graphic design ,computing in general & telecommunication
(my old passion & hobby since 1988). I always loved all sort of Arts, crafts and needle works , I think I got this interest from my mother who used to be a
famous dress maker
& designer and my grandmother had a knitting&
crochet business....I started knitting at age of 5 ,learned
knitting just by watching my grandmother :) I also loved making
dresses for my dolls, I think that's why I like dressing my teddy
bears :). I
started making mini bears in Aug.1999 and in Summer 2000 ,I offered
my bears for adoption through this
web site, and I
still
do , I only sell them through this site and occasionally I use
ebay..
My passion to soft toys & teddy bears since my childhood, is finally rewarded by bear making , I just love & adore these tiny creatures I make and wish that you enjoy them too ..
I usually make sure that
every stitch is carefully done by hand and also I give
all the love to my bear making ... I spend around 2
days or more making one mini bear and
additional 2-3 days accessorizing it ...I also do
the same with the other creatures ... my bear size range
from 1 1/2" - 6" tall , and I make both mohair, and upholstery
, fully jointed bears & their friends...
I only make one of a kind creations "OOAK" & I like my bear to be dressed and have a companion but sometimes he/she does not need many clothing or any companion , all depends on the theme... I assure you, they will really bring the smile and the joy to you , they are made especially for someone sweet , kind and with great taste to have them and care for them.....
Recently , I got interested in trying many other materials
& methodsto make
mini teddy bears and mini dolls like needle felting ,
and polymer clay sculpting (See my Art Dolls web site at http://eiman.com )
