Snow Bear Princess up for adoption

                                                           Set has been  SOLD

I am so pleased to be able to offer my Snow Bear Princess and her two Bunnies for adoption.  First I would like to share with you something very special about this set.  Snow Bear and her Bunnies have won several awards, the most recent being a 2008 Golden Teddy Award.  Along with this they have won a 2008 TOBY Industry's Choice Award,  a First Place British Bear Award Vignette Category, a Second Place British Bear Award Artist of the year.  For the British Bear awards this set was examined up close in person by several judges.  Every seam was inspected before a winner was chosen.  It is very difficult for me to part with this set but I have new designs I am working on right now.   Snow Bear Princess is  16" tall and entirely sewn by hand from tipped German mohair and alpaca.  Her arms contain Loc-Line armature for posing and she is fully jointed.  Facial details are extensively needle sculpted, leather nose, airbrushed paw pads.  Her costuming is also an original design hand made from rich velvet with detailed embroidery, soft white furry trim and polar fleece lined.  her tiara is Austrian crystal.  Her two bunnies are also hand sewn from German mohair and alpaca and one has an open mouth with sculpted front teeth.  Both are 10" tall and have wired ears, and are fully jointed.  They can be positioned in a sitting or standing pose.  Adoption fee for this three piece set is $2,500.00 which includes shipping.  Please email with any questions. luxembears@gmail.com
