'Sweet André'

'Sweet André' is a 9.5" hand sewn La De Da' Artisan Bear. FACIAL FEATURES 'Sweet André' views the world through premium black glass eyes. He has our signature sculpted lids filled with "wet" tears. His nose has also been sculpted freehand. He has been shaded throughout his features to add to his la de da' appeal. BODY He is five way jointed and is created in a wonderful dense German mohair which has been meticulously hand painted in a water color like textile pigment in many shades for dimension and interest. The result is, the fur is left very soft, only stained, never hardened. He 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. His chubby paw pads have been hand sculpted free hand. He can not stand on his own but can be propped. Most of his torso is filled with French Lavender. 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 'Sweet André' like all of my designs is 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.
