It is really difficult to put into words the extraordinary artistry that is present in the creation of Maple and Elsa. I feel if the bears could talk, I would be mesmerized at the stories they would tell. The facial expression of each demonstrates an old soul that is captivating and so genuine. I also feel Maple and Elsa are amazingly beautiful based on the love I know Julie puts into her work! Thank you for sharing your gift to us. You are truly respected and appreciated!!!!

Love doesn't describe the words i have for this bear. They are considered soul mate bears. They definitely are this bear is amazing and gorgeous. The artist puts so much love into her work. The box Alfred came in is absolutely stunning. I love this bear so much. It will have a special place in my heart for many years to come. I highly recommend the artist and her bears.

I could not purchase Illinois without purchasing Indiana as well. These bears are incredibly made. They have such character and innocence about them. The quality of the material is beautiful and the detail of the work is fabulous. The artist is so gracious and a wonderful communicator. Thank you Julie for such amazing creations!!!

I absolutely LOVE the artistry in creating this magnificent bear! The detail is extraordinary, the craftsmanship is amazing, and Illinois is beautiful. I purchased another of Julie's bears as well (Indiana) and I am so thrilled to have them. This is a wonderful artist who's talent deserves many many stars!!!!
