COCO

11.8 inches (30 centimeters)

Like 9

This cheeky little clown bear with the smiling face, was hand-sewn from taupe coloured short-pile Shulte mohair with a silky sheen. Coco is designed to sit (24cm)

His face, eyelids, nose and paw pads are all needle felted from high-quality Australian merino wool, and I have sanded and sealed his nose to harden it, and give an appearance of a 'wet' nose. Following this process, I have re-rooted contrasting white mohair into his muzzle so he appears more realistic, like a natural little cub.

His German glass eyes are hand-painted in deep earthy tones and I have shaded him using dry-brushed oil paints.

He has a lock line neck, spine and arms, and his limbs are attached using locknut joints. he is filled with polyester and a little steel shot in his tummy for a nice weighty feel.

I have custom-designed his little clown cap and collar using a beautiful black polyester/cotton quilting fabric which is dotted with coppery stars, which I then lined with black guipure lace which peeks out from underneath, finishing with black beads and sparkling sequins around the neck. His cap and collar are both removable and are secured with black satin ribbons. His matching cap is lined with the tiniest black pom-poms.

Coco is a discerning adult collectible, and is not suitable for small children.

Like all Nikkel Bears original creations, Coco will arrive beautifully and securely packaged, proudly wearing his Nikkel Bears tush tag and with his laminated Certificate of Authenticity and swing tag..
