Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Please meet Lun Lun the Panda. She is made out of a 1-inch dense black and white Alpaca. Lun Lun is OOAK, handmade and designed head to toe by me. I have meticulously needle/scissor sculpted her face and she sees through black German glass eyes. She is five-way jointed with lock nuts and bolts and I have stuffed her very firmly with polyfil and added bbs in her tummy and legs so she has a very nice weighted feel to her. She wears a beautiful baby pink wired silk ribbon around her neck which can be removed if you so wish.

I am proud to introduce Snowball the puppy. She is an adorable little handful of white fluff! Snowball is 8 inches from head to toe in the standing position. She is made of luxury white faux fur and she wears a pink and white gingham wired bow atop her head. She sees through German black glass eyes. Her nose and paw pads have been needle felted. Her face is needle felted/scissor sculpted to give her that adorable little puppy dog look and shaded in all the right places. She has a cute wire crocheted necklace with a magnetic closure with her name "Snowball" in purple plastic charms that can be removed if you so wish. Snowball is five-way jointed with lock nuts and bolts and I stuffed a few bb's in her tummy to give her a nice weight when you hold.

Please meet Clara. Clara is 10 inches tall and holds an adorable little gingerbread boy which I needle felted myself. Clara is made out of black 1/2 inch ultra-sparse mohair with a white 1 inch alpaca inset on her face. I have meticulously needle felted/scissor sculpted her face and she sees through black German glass eyes. She is 5-way jointed with lock nuts and bolts and very firmly stuffed with polyfil and a pocket of steel shot in her belly which enables her to stand, although she prefers to sit. Her paw pads and feet are needle felted and shaded to give her that realistic bear look. I have designed her little dress using my own pattern.
