'Pinkie et Tickled'

'Pinkie et Tickled' is a 9" (22.8 centimeters) hand sewn Tender Echoes ~ La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Pinkie' views the world through black premium glass eyes that have been distressed for a worn/aged look. The nose has also been loosely stitched, purposely tattered for a well loved appearance. BODY She is five way jointed and is created in a matted, stained, multi-distressed, semi-sparse mohair in a tea stained tan and dusty pink color. Her arms are wired so she can bend and pose to hug her little antique style doll or other objects. She 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 her torso is filled with French Lavender and feels and sounds crunchy like an old bear. She is "shlumpy" in the middle where you can move around the combination of stuffing to pose her 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 'Pinkie' wears a sewn in tea stained/pink silk and lace bow on her head. She also wears a signature Tender Echoes lace heart patch over her own heart and a silk bow on her little tush. Throughout her body, she is displays her "life stripes" of mended stitches and loose threads. A new special addition for this vintage style vignette is a little baby doll named 'Tickled' with an antique style, doll face I hand sculpted, painted with a micro paintbrush, reproduced in clay. The doll body is in rag style embellished in cotton and lace. She is 3". 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.
