Little Spring Bear

She doesn't have a name. Anyone have any ideas?

This little girl loves flowers. Only she is allergic to them.

They make her sneeze and her eyes water yet she still picks them and loves the way they smell.

She is a big girl - measuring apx 9 "

She is made from mohair and ultrasuede.

I wanted to try to make eyelids. Since she is a bigger bear it was easier than putting them on a mini. Her eyelids are ultrasuede and embroidery floss.

Her flowers are hand painted muslin attached to wires.

She wears a fringed collar with a tiny daisy button. Her little hair ribbon started life as several different color hair scrunchies. It has a daisy button as well.


She is made from a pattern by Laura Lynn Matthews.
You can see her adorable bears here.

Oh Yvette! You have out-done yourself! I have never seen a bear with eyelids before- she is marvelous. I have only made a couple of bears- you make me want to do another one. You actually made her look like she has allergies! I love her! I kind of look like her now with our high pollen count- hee hee.
