'Sweet Princess Benoîte'

'Sweet Princess Benoîte' is a 7.5" Royal Haute Shabby Artist Bear by La De Da' Artisan Bears © FACIAL FEATURES 'Sweet Princess Benoîte' views the world through shiny, black, hand crafted glass eyes, made in Germany surrounded by my sculpted signature upper and lower eyelids filled with "wet" tears. Her nose has also been sculpted freehand. BODY She is five way jointed and was created in a variety of materials. She is created in a silk, deep wine colored mohair, a longer champagne swirled German mohair and viscose for her paw pads, panda style. She was sewn entirely by hand by the artist, no machines, in hundreds of tiny stitches and is stuffed with 100% virgin polyester, copper shot and the highest quality lavender buds in the chubby belly. 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 Princess Benoîte' wears a removable paper-mâché'd, mixed media art crown that I designed just for her royally cute head. It is made from tiny art paper applied in a textured, antique style, glittered and lacquered. She also wears a beautiful metal filigree chest plate. All have been hand painted and embellished with a luster effect, traditional to the La De Da'© style. 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 © make you smile.
