My name is Karen Salton I was  born and  reside in Melbourne Australia.

Since 2003 I have been creating and designing my own collectable  bears and critters under the label of "Rufnut Teddy's".   I love travelling and spending time outdoors,  walking our Border Collies and spending time with the kids in their desired sporting interests.   

I  admire many artist bears around the world and have a small collection myself. Look forward to sharing some interests in common.
