Pincushions

**SOLD*Penelope Bear with Paper Mache Cracked Egg

Penelope bear is all hand sewn from a beautiful soft rose imported German mohair that is hard to capture exactly in pictures! She’s much lovelier in person. I’ve used a free pattern to create her. She has imported handmade German glass eyes and is stuffed her with premium fiberfill, wood wool and weighted with glass beads. She’s a bit chunky and weighs 12.8 ounces. She is five way disc jointed and tinted with oil paints and pan pastels to age her. I dyed her little lace collar and added an old earring to it that is actually stuck into the bear itself. It has the earring back on it to hold it so it can be removed if you choose to and the collar is simply tied in back. Her little bow has been pinned down so it can also be removed if you choose. If you want it sewn to her head please let me know ( send me an email ) I’m happy to do that as well. She comes with her little painted paper mache egg that I’ve glued a pretty overdyed wool pincushion into it. The egg is 2 1/2” wide and 1 3/4” tall with the pincushion being 2 1/4” wide. The bear is 9” tall to top of her head, sits 6 3/4” tall and has a butt 4 1/2” wide. If you have any questions please ask. She is heavy so will cost a bit more to ship. Kindly asking $175 plus shipping. Thank you so much for stopping and seeing my work. *** I won’t be able to ship her till Monday I’m sorry I’m out of town till then. Thank you for understanding ***

Velvet Heart

Made from a vintage piece of red velvet that I dyed a bit with coffee this sweet heart is reminiscent of bygone Valentine's Days. A piece of repro red print cotton backs the heart of velvet while 2 vintage mother-of-pearl buttons adorn the front. It makes a lovely pincushion as it is stuffed with wool homegrown in my state of Pennsylvania to keep your pins from rusting. The heart will also make a lovely addition to a bowl or basket. It measures 7 1/4 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide. This is the last of my red velvet so I cannot take orders. There are two available. I am kindly asking $30 each which includes the cost of shipping.
