Pierre

I'm glad to introduce teddy bear Pierre. His image was inspired by a fantasy about tenants of a fabulous Wood. He looks like an aristocrat of the old style. His attire is designed in colours of the wood and fallen pine needles. The bear has been made entirely by the artist’s hands using the artist’s unique sketch. The materials used for his creation include: German brown alpaca, cedar sawdust, English glass eyes hand-tinted by the artist; nose is embroidered with Spanish Perle cotton and finished with bee wax. The bear has 5 disk-pin movable joints, The head is attached with two o-shaped cotter pins for additional flexibility. His soles and palms are polished with bee’s wax, which creates a skin effect. The claws are made with polymer clay for a realistic yet a conventionalized look. The outfit is made with silk taffeta and jacquard, it is garnished with lace, miniature glass beads, 24K gold plated details and vintage accessory details
All materials have been hand-treated to have a vintage effect. The creation of the bear involved certain inventions of the artist, including the way to make a speaking glance, creation and attachment of plastic claws, and polishing of soles and palms with wax.
