'Bronte de la Prose'

'Bronte de la Prose' is a 22" teary eyed, hand sewn and painted La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES Bronte views the world through shiny black premium glass eyes with hand sculpted clay eyelids, accented with the La De Da' signature wet tear accents for a dimensional and soulful gaze. The lower eyelids are filled with a tear medium giving a wet, lifelike, forlorn expression. She wears long flirty eyelashes. The nose has also been hand sculpted,stained and glossed for natural effect. The mouth is embroidered and treated to shimmer slightly. BODY She is five way jointed and is created in a feathery soft, wavy mohair. The entire body is hand dyed and then meticulously painted and heat set in a textile watercolor, leaving the hand of the mohair very soft. She was painted in a wash of faded jade and coffee tones. Her legs are long with a sewn in/bent knee and lightly wired for fun posing options. She is stuffed with poly, and copper shot for weight and the highest quality lavender buds in the belly. The lavender is 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. In addition, non-culinary Lavender is a natural repellent to moths, insects and other critters, like mice, helping preserve and protect your La De Da' bear for many years. ACCESSORIES She wears a hand designed shabby flower fascinator on her head made with a blend of lace and delicate cotton, treated with a scorched, vintage treatment for interest and texture. She also wears an off the shoulder poet's tunic with matching little underpants treated in the same manner as the head piece for a bit of la de da' flair. Around her neck she wears a rusty antique key on bit of velvet ribbon. She cannot stand on her own, she is designed to sit and looks sweet sitting on a chair or other object, like the books in the photos with her legs posed in a lady-like posture. 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.
