Cléo is my last bear.
She is 30 cm tall.
Made with 2 different mohairs, fully jointed with cotter pins, stuffed with polyester fibers, plastic pellets and steel beads (the two last only in her tummy). She has glass eyes (one is broken so I will have to change it).
She has ultra suede paw pads and foot pads.
Her nose and mouth are embroided with a pale yellow cotton matching her colours.
She has got sculpted toes and glass seed bead eyelids.
She has a seed bead attached to each foot pad plus a red beed attached to her tummy.
I made shadings with Marabu pens and paints for textile and added some glitter paint.
She has got a bell in each ear.

I hope you really enjoy pics, because I have taken lots of Cléo in the garden of Malko's parents yesterday. The weather was very sunny and warm, so I had a lot of fun.

First pics were taken near the rhododendron. Its flowers are so beautiful. Cléo could not resist!

Next pics were taken among pine trees (there are lots in the garden):

On this last one, Cléo is in front off a baby pine tree. The new leaves are very clear green and the pine tree itself was in a lovely pale green too as very young.

And to finnish: Cléo's discoveries (the second one is a yummy boletus/cep):
