Bedlam bears (literally)

hi everyone, newest bears for you to see today. this is lacey, named after lacey turner, from my fave 

show, Bedlam.

She is 11 inches tall and made from gorgeous lilac sparse mohair.
I found some great lace to make a collar for her and some lovely little net purple butterflies.
She is now available for adoption on bearpile.com.



 This little one is mini violet, an experiment in scaling down
to a smaller version of some of my other designs. She loves a
good yummy cupcake and holds one in her paw!

The customer requested a bear wearing a replica 80s outfit as worn by her friend for a party, a black lace dress with neon pink netting underneath and pink beads.
I also ended up adding pink legwarmers to the finished piece. One happy customer!
