'Gabi Angelique'

'Gabi Angelique' is a 12" teary eyed angel mohair La De Da' Artisan Bear. Gabi 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 meticulously 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 Boudoir 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 pewter gray in two tones in a feathery German mohair, tinted in multiple shades of gray 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 simple wool angel wings hand dyed in blush pink embellished with a shabby bow with a faux pearl pin in the center and a sterling silver and rose quartz halo strung on sterling silver wire for her "halo" 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.
