Yuan Lin
by Margaret Burke-Nikkel Bears
10 inches (25.4 centimeters)

Introducing YUAN-LIN, an original Nikkel Bears custom-designed two-toned OOAK hand-sewn panda made from white and soft beige alpaca. Her name means �Flower Garden� in Chinese.

Yuan-Lin�s striking English glass starburst eyes have been meticulously hand-painted in shades of shimmering liquid blue and emerald green with shimmering black highlights - like looking into a deep, cool woodland pond - which I have been set in eyelids crafted from ultra suede in a neutral shade to compliment her fur.

I have extensively needlesculpted her face, and spent a lot of time shading her face with copic markers and dry brushing with oil paints to add depth of colour, and give her a demure, wistful look. Her nose has been crafted from soft beige clay which is finished with a light coat of gloss to give her nose a healthy shine.

Yuan Lin is 5-way jointed with locknuts and cotter pin neck and her arms have been wired so she can be posed in various positions. She has ultrasuede paw pads sewn in trapunto style which I have dry brushed in shades of olive and brown/grey to compliment her fur colour.

Yuan-Lin wears a custom hand-made headband of vibrant green and white paper roses, a collar of bejewelled green jewel-encrusted fabric flowers from which hangs a faux emerald and diamante jewel set in silver. She carries a matching green and white paper rose bouquet festooned with satin ribbons in various shades of green.

Designed to sit at 8", Yuan Lin is able to stand assisted and measures 10" standing. She is filled with polyfill with a little steel shot for extra weight in her tummy.

You will find that I am meticulous in my attention to detail, which is why my bears take some weeks to finish to my complete satisfaction. Like all Nikkel Bears, Yuan Lin has been made in a non-smoking environment and is intended as an adult�s collectable - not a child�s toy. Yuan Lin will arrive on your doorstep safe and sound with her own personal story card and Nikkel Bears hang tag.

I only ship via Australia Post Express Post to ensure your bear enjoys a journey to you which is safe, insured and trackable.
