Description
A large number of bear artists are going over to Bid4Bears for 6-8 weeks, we're cross-posting our mailing lists the other artists work on Bid4Bears---so your mailing list gets the link to your auction and links to all these other artists' auctions. Am hopeful it takes off so that the fees aren't so high.

Here is a link to my auction: [link]

It's my version of a teacup faerie...a hot chocolate teddy!

Barnaby and his wee pal, Frost the winter faerie, are both hot chocolate aficionados---as you can tell, they take their cocoa with marshmallows, and plenty of 'em!!

I had a lot of fun making this slightly anime bear. Barnaby is made of a vintage short pile deep gold fur. He has black onyx eyes, a painstakingly embroidered tiny nose, and is shaded to give him lots of character. His lil' face was needlesculpted for an enchanting expression. His head is cotter-pin jointed, rotates from side to side, and limbs are string-jointed for extra posability. He comes with a whimsical hat that is removable, and has stringed mittens round his neck, just like the 5 year olds who run outside to play in snowsuits.

Frost, the faery, is made of Puppen Fimo polymer clay, and has white maribou feather hair. The wings are constructed of shimmering iridescence, and are gently posable. Frost's head swivels so that the hot chocolate is always within view! Faery is handmade by me, and is complete with laugh lines, wrinkles, and blushing.

The cup of hot chocolate and saucer is handpainted, and decorated in a snowflake theme. A sprinkling of snow sits atop the rim, with snowflakes scattered here and there. The marshmallows [both in the cup and in the saucer] are needlefelted. The marshmallow in the cup is not removable!! It has a tiny pin to hold Barnaby or Frost in place.

I'm thrilled with the way it came out---not 'xactly like my vision, but cute enough! I have a reserve of $150 on it, but started it at 99¢ so there can be some no-strings bidding on it!

Wish me luck!
