'Dowager Countess of La De Da'

'Dowager Countess of La De Da' is an 8.5" inch (21.5 centimeters) 10" with hat, 6" seated, hand sewn and painted La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Dowager Countess of La De Da' 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 a pale apple green with pink blushed felt paw pads . She was sewn entirely by hand and stuffed with poly, mineral stones 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. She cannot stand on her own but can propped. 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 removable hand made, turn of the century style hat with ribbon roses, feathers and ribbon. She also wears handmade ribbon cuffs for a bit of la de da' flair. INSPIRATION Inspired by one of my favorite actresses of all time, Dame Margaret Natalie Smith Cross, also known as Maggie Smith. 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.
