JuNa Art by Julia Nazarenko - Germany
And then there is Münster a fantastic city in Germany with a magical teddy bear show. It is an absolute dream for everybody loving teddy bears and their plush friends. The international Teddybär Total Show in Münster (Germany) is the world's capital of all teddy bear shows. With about 300 artists, manufacturers and dealers from 25 nations this Teddybär Total Event is a must! Attending this show is always a privilege. I'm not only viewing bears and buying my supplies, but I also like to meet and greet my fellow artist friends from all over the world.
If you want to see what I've seen then you can take a look at the pictures on the official website of Teddybär Total. Be aware: pics intense...approx. 400 pictures!
Below are some impressions of the show in 2015 that come from my camera. Most of them are made from Russian artists because I love their work so much. Russian art all about the details, the precision, the beautiful colors, the amazing designs and the (subtle) elegance.
I've put together a little overall photoalbum on my Facebook Page as well. So please go ahead and pop over to visit the album on my page.
Many thanks to the exhibitors who let me take the pictures.......

And for the first time we were able to attend the Spring Doll Festival which was parallel to Teddybär Total. There were more then 150 exhibitors from 15 nations. You can view the pictures (300!!) on their official website if you would like to see more - click here - Below a very few photos of myself.





And before I realized the day went by........as always it was a very unique experience and the day went by much to fast. I returned home with a big "chocolate-goodie-bag" that I got from my Russian friends. It has become a habit that we swap candies & cookies. There's nothing better than some delicious Russian chocolates. They are pure heaven....yum! I think it's the best exhibition food ever!!
