'Audrey le Gracieux'

'Audrey le Gracieux' is a 14" (with bow) teary eyed raggy mohair La De Da' Artisan Bear. Miss Audrey views the world through shiny black premium glass eyes with hand sculpted clay 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. Her nose has also been hand sculpted and stained in multiple colors for a leather-like effect. Her mouth is embroidered and treated to shine ever so slightly. Her design is created from our 'boudoir bears' pattern, a bruin version of the Bouoir Dolls of the 1920's - 1940's. Her long legs are needle sculpted with a bent knee. She has pointed toes like boudoir dolls. Her long arms hang gracefully and tight to her sides. She is created in a hand dyed pale patina, in two tones in a feathery soft, whispy/curly German mohair, tinted in multiple shades of clay and blush pink. Center seam head design. Her face has been needle sculpted to create a slightly upturned nose featuring a cute profile. She 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. She is a lovely weight, under one pound. Her ears are chubby and stuffed for a round full look. Her arms,legs and head are disk jointed. She wears a hand made, coffee stained and scorched vintage cotton dress accented with ribbons in the same treatment with tiny roses on the head bow and back of the dress for a bit of la de da' flair. She can not stand on her own but can propped or used in a doll stand. 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.
