'Mademoiselle Antionette Délicat'

'Mademoiselle Antionette Délicat' is a 9" (22.8 centimeters) hand sewn Tender Echoes ~ La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Mademoiselle Antionette Délicat' views the world through black premium glass eyes that have been distressed for a worn/aged look. Her face has also been needle sculpted for depth and character. Her cheeks are rouged adding to her la de da' appeal. 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 multi-distressed/baked/shaded viscose hand dyed in two tones of muddled dove gray. She is the first in this new body design with longer arms and a fuller belly. She was sewn entirely by hand, (no machine sewing) and is loosely stuffed with poly, copper shot and the highest quality lavender buds in the belly. Her arms have been weighted with shot for an even more substantial weight. She can not stand on her own but can be propped. 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 'Mademoiselle Antionette Délicat' wears a sewn-in silk bow embellished with sweet vintage buttons on her head. She also wears a signature La De Da' Tender Echoes mohair heart patch over her own heart and silk bow on her little tush. Throughout her body, she is displays her "life stripes" of mended stitches and loose threads. 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.
