My name is David Hogenson, ---------> and I've been making miniature bears for 8 years now. Trading as "Bumpkinbears", with the miniatures called "minibums", I also make bigger bears when commissioned to do so, and repair and renovate old bears.

"I do like your bear, quirky and fun are words that came to mind. I admire your talent, ingenuity, artistry and bravery in pushing the boundaries. I have bears in the Puppenhausen in Basle Switzerland, and sometimes sell on ebay." (David Hogenson, Wiltshire, England)

IMBOLC EXCHANGE, february 2005

<--------- ... now about your nicklace.There's
a story behind the penny, well this penny
in a phone conversation with my father i mentioned
how hard it was to find a 2004
penny-two days later i got an envelope in the mail from my father...
the only thing inside was this penny.
When i told him that the penny would be going to Italy...
he got very excited, he hasn't been to Europe
since World War 2, now a bit of him will be there!

	<--------- ... I also hope you like the leather bear. I know he's very different- I like him though... Anyway the clown is nice and warm and the other bears don't really understand him yet, but they're working on the language barriers, we have the satellite dish turned to Italian channel for him!
