'Shimmytime Spencer'

'Shimmytime Spencer' is a 9" (22.8 centimeters) hand sewn Tender Echoes ~ La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Shimmytime Spencer' views the world through black premium glass eyes that have been distressed for a worn/aged look. His cheeks are rouged adding to his la de da' appeal. The nose has been loosely stitched and purposely tattered for a well loved appearance. BODY He is five way jointed and is created in a multi-distressed/baked/shaded shaggy mohair hand dyed in two tones of tan. He is the second in this new body design with longer arms and a fuller belly. He 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. His arms and legs have been weighted with shot for an even more substantial weight. He can not stand on his own but can be propped. Most of his 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 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 'Shimmytime Spencer' wears a sewn-in burlap beret on his head. He also wears a signature La De Da' Tender Echoes mohair heart patch over his own heart and vs. the signature silk bow that is applied to the girl bears, he wears a pocket on his little tush with some velvet roses inside to give to his sweetheart. Throughout his body, he is displays his "life stripes" of mended stitches, patches and loose threads. His "story" is, he is an early jazz musician, a very romantic fellow. 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.
