Valentino, My Valentine Bear (scrole down to album for pic)
Valentino is a very special boy, not only because he's a rare Boy Valenine bear, but he's also made from a wonderfully dense vintage mohair upholstery fabric in a deep, rich red that a dear friend sent to me. Valentino's mohair is ever so gently distressed to give him a very old, worn-out bear look. His wool felt paw pads have a subtle hand-tinted patina and his vintage boot button eyes give him a great expression. He is stuffed with excelsior, cotton and glass beads. Valentino's coat is reversible, but he looks great with out it too!
I love your fabric choice, beautiful! By the way, the outfit is special, it looks oriental, can you tell me where is it from?
ReplyDeleteThank you Susana,
ReplyDeleteI made Valentino's jacket myself. The fabric (blue side) came from my Mother's stash of goodies. I don't know how or where she aquired it from.
