Lillibeth by Ingrid Schmid, Canada

This stunning bear is made of hand-dyed and aged, dark mustard viscose. She wears an embroidered, vintage lace dress and, from her wire headband of flowers and berries, a full-length, vintage tulle veil. Around her neck she wears a long string of pearls and a vintage, brass shoulder purse and she comes with a vintage-style bouquet of flowers. Lillibeth is filled with wood shavings, with steel shot added for weight. The mouth stitch is deliberately loose to emphasise her antique appearance.
