'Jean Les Mis'

'Jean Les Mis' is an 8" (20.3 centimeters) hand sewn Tender Echoes. La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Jean Les Mis' views the world through black premium glass eyes that have been distressed for an aged look. The nose has also been loosely stitched, purposely tattered for a well loved look. BODY He is five way jointed and is created in a matted, stained, multi-distressed, semi-sparse mohair in two shades of a stained tea and tobacco coloration. He was sewn entirely by hand, (no machine sewing) and is loosely stuffed with poly, and copper shot and the highest quality lavender buds in the belly. Most of his torso is filled with French Lavender and feels and sounds crunchy like an old bear. He is "shlumpy" in the middle where you can move around the combination of stuffing to pose him in different ways. The lavender is imported from the Mont Ventoux region of 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 helping preserve and protect your La De Da' Artisan Bear for many years. DETAILS 'Jean Les Mis' wears a very shabby sage green, re-purposed micro corduroy cap which has been embellished with vintage mother of pearl buttons and distressed sari silk for a bit of la de da' flair. Throughout his body, he is wears his "life stripes" of mended stitches and loose threads. Over his heart is a roughly stitched heart...full of love. Under his left arm there are stitches, as though his arm was attached back on after being carried by one arm by a little child. 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. May God bless you always.
