guadalupe.Oro.small.jpgGuadalupe-small.jpgI have been playing with the dolls again, so much fun.

Guadalupe lives in the northern Arizona forests, she is such a kind gentle bear the forest gnomes, elves, trolls and fairies have named her Babysitter.  She is pictured with Oro a little gnome girl.  They have been making flower chains for Guadalupe to wear on her neck. 

She is a large bear for me 13-1/2"  made of mohair.  New nose technique for me, no wax.  The nose is still felted but layers and layers of ModPodge, then I shaped it with a Dremmel, really worked out well.  Mohair is rooted over felted muzzle.   Oro 5" hand sculpted of polymer,  wired cloth body.

Joanne,

I don't know where to start gushing...I'm still struggling, as you know with trying to sculpt a nose...and would you look at that doll's face!   

I loved your waxed felted noses, but having been down that road myself, this is probably not only 'safer' but I think, worked out wonderfully.   

And if I confuse Babysitter with Oro, it may because of that fabulous mohair.  What a gorgeous bearsuit.  She exudes gentleness...as do all your bears. 

Another triumph. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Joanne, I stand corrected !  :redface:  :redface:  :redface:

When you posted a little bit about this couple on facebook, I commented that I loved the bear, but wasn't really keen on the doll ?   You were absolutely right : they make a delightful couple together  bear_wub   And the story behind it is so endearing : I can just imagine the enchanted forest with the gnomes and trolls, all wanting to be cuddled by the babysitter.   bear_flower   Absolutely wonderful !   bear_thumb

Hugs,  :hug:
