'Perri Winkletoes' a Haute Shabby Ballerina

'Perri Winkletoes' a Haute Shabby Ballerina

'Perri Winkletoes' is an 8.5" mohair La De Da' Ballerina Bear. Perri views the world through premium glass eyes with hand sculpted and painted, clay eyelids accented with sculpted wet accents for a dimensional and soulful gaze. She also wears very long, flirty applied 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 periwinkle. She has been treated and hand tinted/painted in multiple shades of gray, clay, soft violet 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 coordinating shimmery tulle tutu I made for her with the same tulle as head ribbon embellished with a millinery pink rose and crinkled hand dyed vintage ribbon for a bit of la de da' flair. 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' Artisan Bears bring you a smile.
