'Gershwin Greenleaf'

'Gershwin Greenleaf' is a 9" (22.8 centimeters) hand sewn Tender Echoes ~ La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Gershwin Greenleaf' views the world through black premium glass eyes. 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 stained in a light tea and leaf green. 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. He is "shlumpy" in the middle where you can move around the combination of stuffing to pose him in different ways. LAVENDER 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 'Gershwin Greenleaf' wears a collar of rusty bells around his neck. He sounds so sweet when you pick him up. Throughout his body, he is displays his "life stripes" of mended stitches, patches and loose threads. He is one of the most heavily distressed bears I have created to date. 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.
