'Silhouette'

'Silhouette' Edition #1, is a 7" standing, 5" sitting, hand sewn and sculpted La De Da' Artisan Bear. The Silhouette is a design to capture the essence of the beloved teddy bear in a more sculptural, minimal way...a more interpretive approach rather than literal. The materials used in this series are non traditional and are meant to be decorative. FACIAL FEATURES 'Silhouette' views the world through mother of pearl vintage buttons that have been distressed. Her nose is roughly stitched and aged for more la de da' appeal. BODY She is five way jointed. Her head is disk jointed and her clay legs and arms are thread jointed. Her head, ears and torso are created in a custom dyed viscose in shades of duck egg blue with aged touches of walnut. She was sewn entirely by hand, (no machine sewing) and is stuffed with poly, copper shot and the highest quality lavender buds in the chubby belly. She is extra 'shlumpy' and under stuffed in her chest like an old ted. She can not stand on her own but can be propped.She is quite heavy for her size. 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 'Silhouette' wears a shabby lacey on her head with the same material is over her own heart. 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.
