My name is Diana Seifert. I am a Teddy Bear Artist from Germany. 
I´ve been creating my BEL AMI BEARS 2003, but in the last years I have specialized in creating Dressed Cats. I´ve been giving this category the special name "Chateau Mijou" because all of those cats have an aristocratic and royal appearance. Cats are my absolute favourite animals and I´m interested in history and really mad about historical costumes. So I am happy I can combine both passions in my creations! I am also inspired by paintings by Susan Herbert and Cat characters in fairytales and fables and Victorian Children´s books like the Beatrix Potter tales. But I´m always eager to try something new. So in the future I want to create also more dressed creatures from the whole animal kingdom...! My creations are highly detailed handcrafted and unique pieces of Art, best quality made in Germany.
