In the Ger Bear Project, Brenda F. Bell dressed teddy bears in clothes based on costumes worn by actor Geraint Wyn Davies in roles he had played on Dracula: The Series, Forever Knight, and Black Harbour. She originally intended to do a set of twelve bears, but only completed six.

Three of the bears were later donated to the Geraint Wyn Davies Fan Club. At their third "Weekend With Ger" a/k/a "Gerthering", the actor met and signed one of the bears during the autograph session, auctioned off a second one, and received a third as a gift. Another bear was auctioned off in one of their internet auctions.
