'Camille de Giverny'

'Camille de Giverny' is an 8" teary eyed La De Da' Artisan Bear. Camille views the world through shiny black premium glass eyes with hand sculpted clay eyelids (upper and lower) accented with the La De Da' signature sculpted wet tear accents for a dimensional and soulful gaze. They are filled with a tear medium on the lower part of the eye giving a wet, lifelike, forlorn expression. The clay is sculpted around the glass eye and into the fur before the tear medium is added to build dimension custom to the head shape and eye contour. The nose has also been hand sculpted and stained in multiple colors for a leather-like effect and the mouth is embroidered and treated to shine ever so slightly. She is five way jointed and is created in a feathery soft, Helmbold Viscose. She is the first of a new technique where I hand paint the entire body in a textile watercolor. Her torso features a Claude Monet, Water Lilies inspired pattern. She was sewn entirely by hand and 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. Lavender is also a natural repellent to insects, helping preserve your little bear for many years. She wears shabby hand painted bow with a Claude Monet inspiration for a bit of la de da' flair. She can not stand on her own but can propped. She has long legs which are lightly wired for multiple posing options. Her arms are wired as well. 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.
