This little one would dearly love to spend Christmas helping you decorate your tree - why he's even brought along his own sparkly jade coloured velvet Christmas bauble to help celebrate the festive season!

Measuring 10" standing (assisted), Jasper has been lovingly hand-sewn using only the best quality Shulte dense pile mohair fabric - in snowy yuletide white and a striking chestnut colour. He has trapunto pawpads made from a chestnut ultrasuede, which I have dry-brushed with oil paints in several shades from copper, chestnut and black to give a depth of colour.

Jasper has sparkling English glass eyes which I have hand-painted in my own quite complex style using a miriad of colours from deep emeralds, bright highlights of silver and black. I have needlesculpted his eye sockets before placing the eyes, and needlefelted eyelids in snowy white. His muzzle has also been meticulously needlefelted in white wool, revealing his cheeky, yet modest smile. His nose has been hand crafted by me using chestnut Sculpey clay and finished with a light sheen.

He is 5-way jointed, with locknut limbs (including wired arms) and cotterpin neck. His filling is polyester with a little steel shot for a nice, weighty feel. To keep accessories to a minimum to keep focus on the many details in the panda, Jasper wears only a soft satin ribbon in a deep jade colour around his neck which ties in with his colouring very nicely. His shading has been done using a combination of oil paints and copic markers.

Like all Nikkel Bears, Jasper has been hand-sewn by me in a smoke-free environment and will arrive safe and sound on your doorstep beautifully packaged with his own personal story card and Nikkel Bears hangtag.

Please remember that layaway to suit every bear budget is available on all of my bears.
