'Lenore Nevermore' a Halloween Ball Bear

'Lenore Nevermore' a Halloween Ball Bear

'Lenore Nevermore' is an 8.5" (11" to the tip of her hat) mohair La De Da' Halloween Ball Bear. She views the world through premium glass eyes with sculpted/painted, leather eye lids accented with sculpted wet accents for a dimensional and soulful gaze. She also wears long flirty eyelashes. Her legs/feet are a modified hockey stick design, her long arms hang gracefully and tight to her sides. Her slight concave chest resembles an "adored before" long loved bear whose stuffing is a bit worn down from many hugs. Her belly is very rotund. She is created in a matted German mohair, multi process/hand dyed in two tones of a harvest gold and rust. She has been treated and hand tinted/painted in multiple shades of clay, gold, deep gray and blush pink then blended for a watercolor effect around the eyes/cheek area and for an aged, vintage appeal throughout the body. She is very well loved, plucked, weathered and worn to look like a bear from yester-year. Center seam head design. Her face has been needle sculpted to create a slightly upturned nose featuring a cute profile. She is stuffed with poly, copper shot (belly) and the highest quality lavender buds, imported from 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. She is a lovely weight, under one pound. As with all my bears, she has a hand sculpted clay nose which has been sanded, stained and painted in multiple colors for a leather-like effect and a painted mouth. Her ears are chubby and stuffed for a round full effect. Her arms and legs are disk jointed and her round head is wobble jointed for movement making her nod more for a shy, "pick me up" appeal. She wears a one of a kind decoupaged witch hat made by me with various ephemera of vintage Halloween images and the word "Nevermore" from which she was inspired by the Edgar Allen Poe Poem "The Raven". She also wears a shiny black tulle tutu and her legs are striped to resemble stockings and a shoe for a bit of la de da' flair. She comes with her black mohair raven she carries to the ball as a protective companion. She can not stand on her own but can be propped. 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' Bears bring you a smile.
