'Wee Willy Warmheart' a Sweet Little Boy Bear
'Wee Willy Warmheart' is a 6" mohair La De Da' Little Boy Bear. Willy views the world through premium black glass eyes with hand sculpted clay eyelids (upper and lower). I also sculpt wet tear accents inside of the clay for a watery eye, dimensional and soulful gaze. The clay is sculpted on and around the glass eye and into the clay before the tear medium is added to build dimension custom to the head shape and eye contour. His nose has also been hand sculpted and stained in multiple colors for a leather-like effect. No molds are used, the clay work is freehand. His mouth is embroidered and treated to shine ever so slightly.
The legs/feet are a modified hockey stick design with long arms that hang gracefully and tight to his sides. He created in a scruffy, German mohair in off white and a warm gold which has been tinted in shades of clay, brown and bark. His face has been needle sculpted to create a slightly upturned nose featuring a cute profile. He is stuffed with poly, copper shot (belly) and the highest quality lavender buds, imported from Provence, France. Lavender is a La De Da' signature element added to all of my bears to enhance the "hug" experience with a gentle, therapeutic natural scent. Squeezing the buds helps release the scent, so you get a little bit of relaxation with every hug.
His ears are chubby and stuffed for a round full effect. The arms and legs are disk jointed and his round head is wobble jointed for movement making him nod more for a shy, "pick me up" appeal. He wears a warm sweater/vest designed just for him with a shawl collar and open front for a bit of la de da' flair. He can not stand on his own but can be propped.
All of my designs are one of kind, no two bears are alike. From my heart to your hand....I hope the La De Da' Artisan Bears bring you a smile.
