I am thrilled for you to meet Celeste my first bear for 2013 - a new little panda created from white and the softest baby pink Japanese alpaca.

This little girl is making her debut just in time for Valentines Day, and she's certainly got stars in her eyes - literally! I have painstakingly placed silver stars in each of her hand-painted English glass eyes which twinkle when they catch the light. I have painted her eyes in starburst style, in a deep azure blue with highlights of black and silver and needlefelted her eyelids in white merino wool to add contrast to her deeply shaded eye area. Her muzzle is also needlefelted with meticulous care, giving her a winsome, shy smile. Her nose is hand-crafted in dove grey baked clay which I have finished off with a slight gloss.

Celeste is 5-way jointed, with cotter pin neck and locknut limbs, and her arms have been wired to allow her to pose in various positions. She is filled with polyfill and a little steel shot to give her a nice, teddy weighty feel.

To complete her feminine look, I have adorned Celeste with beautiful authentic Swarovski crystals - both her necklace and tiara have been hand-crafted by me. A removable and beribboned baby-pink feather collar completes her fabulously girlie look.

Like all Nikkel Bears, Celeste has been lovingly hand-crafted by me in a smoke-free environment, and will arrive safe and sound on your doorstop beautifully packaged and wearing her own Nikkel Bears hang tag and personal story card.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look - if you would like to leave a comment or adopt Celeste as your very own from the award-winning Nikkel Bear studio, I would be happy to hear from you.
