Elina`s Bears by Elina Oplakanska

Posted Jan 26, 2016

My name is Elina Oplakanska, my trading name is Elina`s Bears. I’m an architect and illustrator and I like art so much. It is my job and life.

I like to change where i live regularly because for me it’s a big inspiration. I like to travel and to take photos and to make drawings. It gives me a lot of new emotions, inspiration.

My first bear was made a long time ago. But I can’t say on which day I made my 1st bear. I think it was about 6 years ago…or a little bit more. One year ago I started to make bunnies. It is my love. I want to make another kind of sweet animals. I think it can be this year. I have a lot of ideas for the future. I think it will write a book one day with my illustrations and about my bears. I have already some beautiful stories.

My dream was always to make one little vintage bear. I drew and drew…and dreamed. And some years later I bought materials and I made one little bear. It was my first bear. After that I gave it to my friend as a gift.It was a very nice moment. I saw a happy face of my friend. It makes me happy and it’s a moment I will never forget. Since that time I make bears. Now I’m a full time bear maker. It’s my passion and I make my bears with all my heart. I make my bears and bunnies in my studio. My bears and bunnies are an art toys for collectors, they are OOAK (one-of-a-kind). I make everything by hand.

Elina`s Bears are more traditional but in my shabby chic style. My style is like old vintage bears. Every one of my bears has a special character. They are sometimes strong, they have their stories, they are sweet and in love. They have French names. I like to use viscose and vintage fabrics.I like these materials, they are very special. I like shabby chic. And I love antique and vintage things, and also I make my bears vintage, too. Old things have a very interesting and long story.

I find old materials in special materials shops, and often people send old items of clothing that are perfect for this shabby look.

I sell my bears in galleries and also private to collectors.Everybody can write me and I’ll answer to all.

    As with many others, craftsmanship also started already with me in my childhood. Still today I see the hands of my grandmother on mine when we sat together on her corner seat and, even before I started school, she taught me crochet work and knitting. Handicrafts accompanied me over and over again throughout my live. […]
