Hi everyone! My name is Diane Bester
(Di for short) and I live in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.
I started my bear-making career in January 1995 and has grown to love, create and collect bears ever since. I make all kinds of Bears and Fuzzies (Critters) in various sizes, but my most favourite range is 3 to 12 inches. I mostly make One-off characters and small Limited Editions.
The name, GiZMO, was borrowed from the other LOVE in my life - my Black Oriental Siamese Cat - as he ruled the household (sadly passed away on 21 April 2005)
Hugs Di
