Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to share with you a sweet little bear I just finished. Bahlu is a commissioned piece and is getting ready for his trip to Massachusetts, where he will be residing, a bit later this afternoon. He's a bit nervous about traveling alone so I am giving him a bit of time to get use to the idea :).
Marilyn, a wonderful and dear customer of mine, asked me to create "Bahlu" for her grandson Ben's second birthday.
~This is Benjamin...ISN'T he the sweetest little fella..I mean look at those eyes..he's gorgeous!!~
(I use this photo with permission of course :)
I made him soft, squishy and oh so huggable as well as child friendly so that Ben will be able to hug him & squeeze him & love him forever.. His paper hat is removable and may be stored in a safe place only to be worn on special occasions. Written on his paper hat is "Benjamin & Bahlu...And now we are two!"
He is wearing a dapper little soft blue wool collar and carrying a small beeswax walnut for Benjamin's Grammie as you must always bring your hostess a gift.
Oh I do hope Ben likes him!
~Happy Birthday Ben may you have a wonderful day~

Hi Tam..THANK YOU!!! big hugs, D
Doreen ,Oh my were you thinking as you created this wonderful little one "I can only hope he loves him as Jen still loves Bea Bear"? No artist could ever ask for more.I can only imagine how you will feel when you bring one to life for your very own Grandbabies. Love Mom
Doreen! I am speechless. Bhalu arrived today and first let me say you are the epitome of class and perfection. The attention to detail is magnificent and he is packaged with such care and love. As for Bhalu ~ I cannot express how I feel - yes I can - I want him for myself!!! From the bottom of my heart I thank you for capturing the essence of love and the difference you will make in a little boys life! xoxox Marilyn
Cute, just like his new owner.

Doreen... What a wonderful and meaningful gift to give. How very cool, that you should be commissioned to make this adorable teddy bear, for an equally adorable little guy! Life is good... Daryle
