'Artiste du Papillon Rose'

'Artiste du Papillon Rose' 1/25, is a 9" (22.8 centimeters) 10" with flower, teary eyed, hand sewn and painted La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Artiste du Papillon Rose' 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 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, 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 gray and shades of blush, clay and coral shades. Her four paws are made from a fine felt, also painted in layers. She was sewn entirely by hand, no machine sewing and is stuffed with poly, and copper shot 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 The 'Artiste du Papillon Rose' Bear is a limited edition series of 25 which will feature this artwork as part of the vignette. The art is an original mixed media piece I created in 2008 for large scale giclee canvas production. It has also been used as a tattoo on a lovely lady in Arizona who is a renowned rosarian, rose exhibitor with the American Rose Society. Her little canvas is a miniature version of 'Conundrum Butterfly', measuring just 3" x 3" with a little wooden easel, painted black. 'Conundrum' is the name of a Mini-Flora rose, yellow blend with red edges. 2001 - Robbie Tucker. She wears a hand designed shabby flower fascinator on her head for a bit of la de da' flair. It is made with a blend of lace and delicate cotton, custom printed from the artwork 'Conundrum Butterfly' for a bit of la de da' flair. 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.
