'Freya du Cirque'

'Freya du Cirque' is a 9" inch, (22.8 centimeters) 7" seated, hand sewn and painted La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Freya du Cirque' 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. The nose has also been hand sculpted,stained and 'wet' for natural effect. The mouth is embroidered and treated to shimmer. BODY She is five way jointed and is created in a feathery soft Schulte viscose. The entire body is meticulously painted and heat set in a textile watercolor, leaving the hand of the viscose very soft. She was painted in layers and in shades of brown and reds resulting in a vintage/faded shade of soft apricot. She was sewn entirely by hand and stuffed with poly, copper shot for weight and the highest quality lavender buds in the belly. She is an old style design with a wide forehead and hump on her back. Her snout is long. Her paw pads are from a beautiful felt, also hand painted and heat set. The entire body has an overall ombre effect as one color blends to another. 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 removable hand made pointy clown hat, attached printed fabric and lace across her body and a shabby flower for a bit of la de da' flair. They are all created in a delicate voile with pleats and lace, custom printed with my own ephemera art for interest, uniqueness and texture. She cannot stand on her own but can 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' Artisan Bears bring you a smile.
