Valerie Teddy Bear, 10-inches, $225 US + Shipping/Handling/Insurance*
One of my VIPs members suggested that I make this teddy bear...and I'm so glad I took her advice! Valerie is fashioned from a luxurious, extra dense Schulte mohair. Her muzzle has been meticulously hand-plucked, trimmed and needle sculpted. Her hand-blown glass eyes twinkle out over her perfect hand-embroidered nose and mouth, in the perfect shade of dark pink to match her ears and paws! In addition to needle-sculpting to achieve her delightful expression, Valerie's ears (lined with ultrasuede) have been set low on her head. Like all the teddy bears of The Bear Menagerie, Valerie has a large belly... Shee is stuffed with a combination of polyester polyfil and polished steel shot. Valerie has really huge feet (even bigger then her belly!) that have been needle-sculpted with toes (her paw pads have fingers). Around her neck, Valerie is wearing a double wired ribbon bow in shades of pink, one sheer and one solid. Like all the teddies of The Bear Menagerie, Valerie has a sewn-inch tush tag and will travel with a signed name card assuring you that you are the proud owner of an original design teddy!
