Opal

By Emma and Mark Nicholson
16" (40cm)

Opal is the sweetest little multi-coloured bear, reminiscent of the gorgeous flashes of colour seen in Australian Opals. She has been made entirely in hand-dyed curlylocks mohair in a blend of pastel pinks, rose pinks, sapphire blues, limes, lavender purples and turquoise. She also has a little ivory alpaca for her cute chubby cheeks and her hand and paw pads have been made in a dusky pink faux cashmere. 

Opal looks out through a pair of our large hand-painted glass eyes in a shimmery lilac/pink colouring, with hand sculpted eyelids and long lashes. She is fully T-pin jointed and stuffed with polyfill, glass and steel shot to give her a rather squishy and cuddly feel. Her hands and feet feature our 3D pulled toe detailing with inktense shading. 

Opal wears a fully removable handmade faux flower garland in her hair, and a polished blue howlite semi-precious stone heart pendant around her neck.

She is a one of a kind artist bear. Her sister 'Adelaide' can be found in her own listing, but 'Debs' has been adopted already.
