'Pierre le Romantique'

'Pierre le Romantique' (Pierre the Romantic) is an 8" La De Da' Artisan Bear. He is one of three 'Le Romantique Boy Bears'. Pierre views the world through shiny black premium glass eyes with meticulously hand sculpted eyelids (upper and lower) accented with sculpted wet tear accents for a dimensional and soulful gaze. The clay is sculpted around the glass eye and into the mohair before the tear medium is added to build dimension custom to the head shape and eye contour. The pool of tears creates a life like element to the eyes and is a La De Da' signature design element. His nose has also been hand sculpted and stained in multiple colors for a leather-like effect. The sculpting around the eyes creates a truly one of a kind expression to each bear as no two free hand sculpts are ever alike. His mouth is embroidered and treated to shine ever so slightly. His legs/feet are a modified hockey stick design, long arms that hang gracefully and tight to his sides. He is created in a feathery plush mohair, hand dyed in various shades of gray and gray/blue. He has been treated and hand tinted/painted in multiple shades gray. His head is a center seam head design. 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. He is a lovely weight, under one pound. His ears are chubby and stuffed for a round full effect. His arms, legs and head are disk jointed. He wears a a black plush hand made french beret and a red jeweled heart on his chest 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' Bears bring you a smile.
